Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

VISIT TO BLUE GROTTO IS NOT GUARANTEED.

It depends on queues at the entrance.

In case we visit the Blue grotto you will pay an entrance fee of 14€ per person, which can only be paid in cash. The entrance ticket to the Blue grotto is not included in the tour price.

Access to the grotto depends on the tide and general sea conditions. Confirmation of its opening is obtained each morning.

Stop 2 Pass by

Faraglioni ROCKS: the three spurs of rock which rise up out of the sea, within meters of the island's Southern coast. The rocks have each been given a name: the first, still attached to the land, is called Stella, the second, separated from the first block by a stretch of sea; Faraglione di Mezzo and the third, Faraglione di Fuori or Scopolo, meaning the head or promontory stretching into the sea.

Stop 3

A pretty little bay which lies directly opposite Capri's giant sea stacks.

Stop 4

The Green Grotto is one of a series of beautiful caves around Capri island.

Known locally as the Grotta Verde, the water around the cave gives off a beautiful green colour, an effect caused by the reflection of the light.

The Lighthouse of Punta Carena dominates the Southwestern coast of the island of Capri. 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

Punta Carena

The Lighthouse of Punta Carena dominates the Southwestern coast of the island of Capri. Looming behind the lighthouse, there is the precipice of the Migliera, lined with defense walls built by the British at the start of the 19th century in order to protect Capri from invasion. In front of the lighthouse, the sea extends all the way to Sicily.

The light house, 'faro' in Italian, was built in 1866. The second tallest in Italy (after Genoa), it is among the most important of all those guarding over the Tyrrhenian Sea.
