Blue Grotto, Capri, Italy | Grotta Azzurra, Italia
Here's our experience visiting the Blue Grotto in Capri, Italy (Gotta Azzurra, Italia) in May 2019.
We arrived by sea via a private boat tour (using Gianni's Boat Tours) that started in Marina Grande harbor and went around the whole of Capri island, but let us stop by the famous Blue Cave / Blaue Grotte Bleue too. It is possible to visit from land too.
Grotta Azzurra is one of the most famous tourist attractions on Capri, often listed on Top Things to do in Capri and Most recommended places to visit in Capri and in the Amalfi Coast area lists.

Una visita alla Grotta Azzurra. Nel complesso a conti fatti non proprio economica ma assolutamente da provare almeno una volta nella vita,dal vivo è tutta un'altra cosa.
THE BLUE GROTTO (GROTTA AZZURRA) IN CAPRI, ITALY-Stunning!
The stunning Blue Grotto is perhaps the highlight of a trip to the beautiful island of Capri, Italy. It can only be reached in a rowboat and the opening to the cave is so small, you have to lie flat or risk hitting your head. Once inside, you can see the luminescent blue color that is created when sunlight passes through an underwater cavity that is positioned under the cave's mouth. BEAUTIFUL!

CAPRI - Periplo dell'isola + grotta azzurra - CIRCUMNAVIGATION ISLAND + BLUE GROTTO - カプリ- капри-卡普里
I viaggi del Circolo del Viaggiatore Lioni -- L'isola di Capri è situata nel golfo di Napoli e nel golfo di Salerno, tra la penisola sorrentino-amalfitana, Capo Miseno e le isole di Procida e Ischia. Di origine calcarea, la sua sezione più bassa è al centro, mentre i suoi lati sono alti e circondati per lo più da spaventosi precipizi, dove si trovano numerose grotte. La sua orografia è composta, ad ovest, dalle pendici del monte Solaro e, ad est, dal monte San Michele, con la Croce e il monte Tuoro.Lo storico e geografo greco Strabone, nella sua Geografia, riteneva che Capri fosse stata un tempo unita alla terraferma. Questa sua ipotesi è stata poi confermata, recentemente, sia dall'analogia geologica che lega l'isola alla penisola sorrentina sia da alcune scoperte archeologiche.Coesistono sull'isola due realtà urbane, diverse tanto per la naturale separazione geografica quanto per tradizioni e origine etnica: Capri e Anacapri. Tale differenziazione si spiega con la naturale vicinanza di Capri al mare: la presenza del porto ha infatti agevolato gli scambi commerciali e culturali con il Regno di Napoli e determinato, di conseguenza, un suo maggiore benessere economico.Le due comunità erano in eterno conflitto, impegnate a difendere ognuna i propri diritti, esasperate dalla mancanza di vera autonomia che le costrinse ad accettare, nel corso dei secoli, le pressanti pretese degli amministratori inviati dal continente come controllori dell'economia locale.

Grotta Azzurra - Capri, Italy
The Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra), the emblem of the island of Capri. Sunlight, passing through an underwater cavity and shining through the seawater, creates a blue reflection that illuminates the cavern. The cave extends some 50 metres into the cliff at the surface, and is about 150 metres deep, with a sandy bottom.

Places to see in ( Capri - Italy ) Grotta Azzurra
The Blue Grotto is a sea cave on the coast of the island of Capri, southern Italy. Sunlight, passing through an underwater cavity and shining through the seawater, creates a blue reflection that illuminates the cavern. The cave extends some 50 metres into the cliff at the surface, and is about 150 metres (490 ft) deep, with a sandy bottom.
The cave is 60 metres long and 25 metres wide. The cave mouth is two metres wide and roughly one metre high. For this reason, entrance into the grotto can only be achieved when tides are low and the sea is calm. Without calm seas and low tides, the grotto becomes inaccessible, as the 1-metre entrance is impossible to pass. To enter the grotto, visitors must lie flat on the bottom of a small four-person rowboat. The oarsman then uses a metal chain attached to the cave walls to guide the boat inside the grotto. Swimming in the grotto is forbidden, both for safety reasons and to preserve water clarity.
The Blue Grotto is one of several sea caves, worldwide, that is flooded with a brilliant blue or emerald light. The quality and nature of the colour in each cave is determined by the particular lighting conditions in that particular cave. In the case of the Blue Grotto, the light comes from two sources. One is a small hole in the cave wall, precisely at the waterline, that is a meter and half in diameter. This hole is barely large enough to admit a tiny rowboat, and is used as the entranceway. In photographs taken from within the cave, the above-water half of this hole appears as a spot of brilliant white light. The second source of light is a second hole, with a surface area about ten times as large as the first, which lies directly below the entranceway, separated from it by a bar of rock between one and two meters thick. Much less light, per square meter, is able to enter through the lower opening, but its large size ensures that it is, in practice, the primary source of light.
As light passes through the water into the cave, red reflections are filtered out and only blue light enters the cave. Objects placed in the water of the grotto famously appear silver. This is caused by tiny bubbles, which cover the outside of the object when they are placed underwater. The bubbles cause the light to refract differently than it does from the surrounding water and gives off the silver effect. In part because of the dazzling effect of the light from the above-water opening, it is impossible for a visitor who is in one of the rowboats to identify the shape of the larger hole, the outline of the bar that separates the two holes, or the nature of the light-source, other than a general awareness that the light is coming up from underneath, and that the water in the cave is more light-filled than the air. A visitor who places a hand in the water can see it glow eerily in this light.
During Roman times, the grotto was used as the personal swimming hole of Emperor Tiberius as well as a marine temple. Tiberius moved from the Roman capitol to the island of Capri in 27 AD. During Tiberius' reign, the grotto was decorated with several statues as well as resting areas around the edge of the cave. Three statues of the Roman sea gods Neptune and Triton were recovered from the floor of the grotto in 1964 and are now on display at a museum in Anacapri.

Blue Grotto, Capri, Italy - Relaxing boat tour. Grotto Azzurra
The Blue Grotto (Grotto Azzura in Italian) is Capri’s jewel in the crown. This legendary sea cave was once the Roman Emperor Tiberius’ private swimming pool. Bathed in an ethereal blue light it is your must see place to visit on the island.
Thinking of visiting the Grotto on a visit to Capri to see the natural phenomenon for yourself or just fancy watching a tranquil, relaxing boat ride, whichever I hope you enjoy the film.
How to get there: The Grotto is located on the north west coast of the island. If you don’t have a car you can either take a boat from Marina Grande or travel there by bus.
A boat tour from Marina Grande will cost you about 26 euros, comprising the trip to the cave, the rowing boat that takes you into the cave and your entrance fee. Allow about an hour and a half. At peak times there can be quite a line to enter the cave. There are various boat tours including a tour around the island.
Alternatively you can travel there by bus. Buses run from the port Marina Grande to Capri or Anacapri. The bus from Marina Grande to Anacapri takes about 20 minutes and 15 minutes from there to the Grotto. Or why not take the funicular up to Capri and catch the bus from there. The ticket office is to the right as you get off the ferry. A day pass “unico Capri” costs 6.90 euros and covers all your island travel except the Monte Solaro cable car. Take the bus to Anacapri, change then take the bus to the Blue Grotto, you can’t miss it as it is the last stop. Walk down the stairs and wait for your rowing boat. If you travel by bus you wont have to hang around waiting for the rest of your party to go into the grotto.
Once you have enjoyed the grotto take some refreshments at the kiosk up above the grotto before taking the bus back to Capri or Anacapri to carry on your sightseeing.
Tips:
Best light is apparently noon until 2pm. Queues reduce after 3pm but the sea can get rougher and sometimes is too rough to enter. Go early to avoid the lines.
You will need to climb into a row boat. Each rowing boat only holds 3 passengers and the oarsman. You buy your entrance ticket at a floating ticket office first, no credit cards accepted so have enough cash. Be prepared to enter the cave you will need to lie down flat in the boat, the boatman will then pull the boat into the narrow opening of the cave with a chain. It’s a tight squeeze.
The rowing boat costs 13 euros each, which includes the 4 euro entrance fee and don’t forget to tip your guide, be prepared for 5 – 10 euros, it will make him happy.
Money saving tip:
Entrance to the Grotto is free on the first Sunday of every month.
The History Bit:
The cave was discovered by the Romans and used by Emperor Tiberius’ as a private bathing pool and temple. A number of statues have been found in the cave and some are still believed to be lying at the bottom of the cave. The cave became abandoned as locals feared it was inhabited by spirits until it was rediscovered in 1826 and popularised by the writer August Lopisch and painter Ernst Fries.
The Science Bit:
Why does the water inside the cave appear to be bathed in an ethereal blue light?
There are actually two entrance holes into the cave, one directly below the other. The small top hole is the boat entrance to the cave. The lower hole is below the line of the water allows light into the cave which lights up the bottom of the cave, but filters out all but the blue light giving the water it’s brilliant emerald blue colour.

Blue Grotto (Grotto Azzurra) Capri Italy
Video clip entering and inside the Blue Grotto by row boat on the beautiful island of Capri. This is a must-see attraction.
The skill of the pilots in getting these tiny boats, crammed with tourists through a minuscule gap requires expert timing and has to be witnessed first hand to be believed. The view when inside is magical and is unbelievable unless you see with your own eyes.
