Capri Island with Blue Grotto from Rome

The tiny island of Capri has it all: good cuisine, jaw-dropping nature, lovely weather, stunning sights and one of the bluest waters in the whole Tyrrhenian sea. Take one day off from the cityscapes and reach this island from Rome. We’ll leave early in the morning: wait for us to pick you up at your centrally located hotel or save time and reach us at our designated meeting point, where you’ll be welcomed by our tour leader. Enjoy the Italian landscape while sitting on our private bus traveling to Naples: this will be our first stop, where we’ll boat the ferry to Capri island, with its white rocky cliffs plunging into the aquamarine water. We’ll land on the island and tour around with a professional guide, visiting the famous Piazzetta and admiring the Faraglioni from afar. But most of all we’ll visit the spectacular Blue Grotto. A marine temple during Roman times, its bottom hosted three statues of the Roman sea gods Neptune and Triton, and it was used as the personal swimming hole of Emperor Tiberius. Nowadays swimming is forbidden here, and only small rowboats guided by local experts are allowed in the tiny grotto. Once inside, the view is incredible: sunlight, passing through an underwater cavity shines through the seawater and creates a brilliant blue-to-emerald reflection that illuminates the water in the shady cavern. In the late afternoon, we’ll sail back to Naples and, from there, we’ll travel back to Rome leaving behind the unforgettable colorful island of Capri.
