Blue Grotto

It is the only grotto of the island to be considered a museum.
Ancient nymphaeum dating to roman time, it has bright blue water because of the sun light through the entrance.

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO BOOK THE VISIT because the weather conditions must be checked.
You have to pay a ticket at the entrance.
It is possible to enter only with small rowing boats because the passage is just 1 meter high. You have to follow the regulation of the staff in charge of the service.
There are two ways to reach the Blue Grotto:

  • One from Anacapri by bus or taxi than you have to pay for the entrance to the Grotto. There is a staircase of 100 steps to reach the rowing boats.
  • The second way is from the harbour: a motor boat brings you next to the rowing boats.

When you reach the rowing boat you have to wait your turn both if you come by car or by motorboat. Since the Blue Grotto is the most popular attraction on the island it may take some time to wait in line in order to enter.

Entrance fee Euro p.p. + transportation (by car or motorboat to reach the entrance).

Church of St. Michael

St. Michael Archangel church in Anacapri is a real find, artistically the richest, the brightest church on the island.

Built at the end of 17th century it’s a joyfull expression of the baroque style of that time. The church paintings, its shrines, its stuccos and beautiful marbles almost all disappear dazzled by the colors of the unique majolica floor. The history of the building is linked  to that of the nun Suor Madre Serafina. She was able to found five convents between Capri and Sorrento peninsula, she considered herself a “servant of God” and is burried in the former cathedral in Capri.

Last but not least, one invaluable collection of “Pastori”, original carachter of the Neapolitan Presepe, is displayed in the sacresty.
