Capri
If you feel like spending a pleasant day devoting yourself to the discovery of a new and wonderful place, you cannot miss an excursion to Capri. The tour includes departure from Ischia, reaching the island of Capri in about 45 to 50 minutes.
The first stop is the not-to-be-missed Grotta Azzurra, which can be visited thanks to small rowing boats that accompany visitors inside to discover what makes it so famous. The play of blue reflections that the light creates.
Heading west, one reaches the “Grotta del Cuore,” known as such because of the presence of a natural heart inside. Passing it, it is possible to admire the famous Punta Carena Lighthouse, the only one on Capri. At its foot, the bathing establishment “il Faro” is a good solution where you can bathe and enjoy the sun until sunset. onsidering that Capri being a rocky island, there are not many beaches.
Exploration by sea continues with a stop to regenerate and swim in the beautiful turquoise waters of Cala del Rio. The color of these wonderful waters is due to Capri’s typical rocks, the dolomites, which are reflected in the sea.
The next stop is another of the treasures that Capri holds: the Grotta Verde known for the green color of its waters.
To indulge in another swim, there is no better place than the small cove Cala Ventrosa with the Faraglioni rocks as a backdrop.
The tour continues to the most famous bay of Capri, Marina Piccola, a small paradise. Here you can admire the Faraglioni, perhaps having lunch in one of its restaurants by the sea (recommended the restaurants “La canzone del mare”, “La Torre Saracena” and “La Fontelina”)
Sailing along the coast on the right will appear the “Grotta del Marinaio” (Sailor’s Grotto), which hides a small beach inside.
And, finally, there they are: the undisputed symbol of Capri in the world, the Faraglioni, that will appear majestic in front of you. According to the legend, kissing beneath them is a good omen, meaning that the couple will return to Capri and will stay together forever. Imagine how exciting it will be to pass under the arch and admire in the distance the beauty of the Amalfi Coast and the Island “Li Galli”. In the passage, you will also notice the house of Curzio Malaparte, a communist writer who donated his property to the town of Capri, that turned it into a museum afterward.
The tour continues towards the White Grotto, where you will make another stop to bathe or to visit the beautiful cave, very particular indeed. The name refers to the white color of its stalactites and stalagmites, one of which is said to represent the Madonna.
But that’s not all: another stop is the “Salto di Tiberio”, near Villa Jovis, a cliff over the sea whose name is linked to a legend. Capri was a popular tourist destination even during the Roman Empire, and also Emperor Tiberius used to spend his holidays there. It is said that every time Tiberius received unpleasant news, he threw some unlucky victims from Villa Jovis into the sea, letting them fall through the “Salto di Tiberio”.
The tour of the island comes to an end once arrived in Marina Grande, the tourist port of Capri. Here you can leave the boat to walk in the center of Capri, go shopping or enjoy the famous “Piazzetta”.
