Upon arriving in Capri, we'll have the opportunity to visit the famous Blue Grotto. To enter this magical sea cave, you'll board a traditional paddle boat and lie back behind the sailor as you glide through a narrow opening in the cliffside.

Once the private pool of Emperor Tiberius, the Blue Grotto now enchants visitors with its mystical atmosphere, where the shimmering blue light reflects off the water and the sailors serenade with Neapolitan songs. It's a must-see experience on the island. Please note that the time spent here may vary depending on the waiting line.

As you sail along the coast, you'll be greeted by the statue of Il Scugnizzo, welcoming visitors to the island. You'll also admire the enchanting White and Green Grottos, the historic Punta Carena Lighthouse, and the iconic red Villa of Curzio Malaparte, each offering its own unique charm.

As you pass by the iconic Faraglioni Rocks, the true symbol of Capri, take a moment to appreciate their majestic beauty. These towering sea stacks are not only a visual marvel but also home to a rare and fascinating creature: the Blue Lizard. This unique lizard, found nowhere else on Earth, owes its striking color to the reflections of the sea on its skin. Legend has it that if you’re fortunate enough to spot one, you'll be blessed with a happily ever after life. Keep your eyes peeled—this could be your lucky day!

6

Take advantage of the crystal-clear waters of Capri by diving in for a refreshing swim, bask in the sun on deck, and snorkel to explore the vibrant marine flora beneath the surface.

From here, you can choose to ride the iconic funicular or hop into a stylish open-top taxi (not included) for a scenic ascent to the heart of the island—reaching the famous Piazzetta in just a few minutes.

Once at the top, you're free to soak in the magic of Capri at your own pace:
Wander through charming narrow streets, admire the historic clock tower, and take in the breathtaking views of the Gulf. Or simply unwind with an espresso or gelato in one of the many elegant cafés that line the square, the perfect place to savor la dolce vita.
