During your free time, you have the chance to see the Blue Grotto if you wish (additional cost). A visit inside the Blue Grotto is not part of this trip, but you have the option to take a boat ride to it.

Be aware that if you choose to take the optional boat trip to the Blue Grotto, you may only be able to pass outside. The Blue Grotto (optional transfer) is approximately 18 euros per person.
