The Blue Grotto, or Grotta Azzurra, is a noted sea cave on the coast of the
island of Capri, Italy. It was discovered by a German writer in August 1826.
Since then it has become a popular tourist attraction. It is said that Roman
emperors used the grotto as a private bath and antique statues were found in
there. Inside the grotto, the sea seems to be lit from underwater. The
brilliant blue of the sea fascinates its visitors. The enchantment results
from another opening to the grotto, completely submerged. It allows the
sunlight to pass through and light the water from below, creating a blue
reflection that illuminates the cave. To get to Grotta Azzurra, there are
motorboats that leave from the port of Marina Grande. At the entrance to the
cave, passengers get into little rowing boats. The roof of the entrance is
only one meter above the sea level so passengers have to lie down in the boat
while passing into the cave. The grotto cannot be visited during adverse
weather conditions.
