More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the jetfoil into Marina Grande and the island breathes around you — salt on the air, voices mixing with the slap of small boats. The day begins with the Blue Grotto: a low, luminous cavern where sunlight filters through an underwater entrance and the sea seems to glow from within. If the grotto is closed by weather, your route simply becomes a full-circumnavigation of Capri’s cliffs by shared boat, still dramatic and instructive.
