The tour lasts about 2 hours and is one of the most recommended activities in Capri. The boats leave from Marina Grande (where ferries arrive from Naples) and costs about € 22 per person. It is better to book before. On the tour you can see Capri, its bays and caves from the sea. And obviously his celebrities faraglioni, the rocks that protrude from the sea and with peculiar shapes.
Almost all tours include a stop at the famous'Grotta Azzurra', the sea cave symbol of Capri (the entrance ticket to the cave is not included).
Capri from the water
It is one of the most magical places in Capri. The water of this sea cave, with a width of 25 meters and 60 meter depth, is a blue so vivid that it seems fake. Eye to enter, because the cave is only 1 meter high, so you will have to lie in the boat :-p
To arrive by free you will have to go to the town of Anacapri by bus (departures from the Capri bus station for just over € 1). From there take another bus to the Grotta Azzurra (same price). It's time to get in line to get on a boat (for 4 people) that will take you to the cave (upon payment of the € 13 ticket).
The visit to the cave lasts about 5 minutes and the best time to see it is between 12 and 14.
- Price: € 13 per person.
- Tip: it is a good idea to wear a hat or cap, as queues sometimes form to enter and you have to wait for the sun. It is better to find out about the sea conditions: if there is sea moved sometimes the cave is closed.
- Tip2: it is possible that the cave is closed by the state of the sea, inform you before!
