Showering herself under a mini waterfall.
Our boat cannot go near Marina Piccolo.
We need to swim there ourselves. We were given 3hrs to tour this island.
Marina Piccolo is one of the Capri's best known beach.
Capri's beach are all made of pebbles and rocky platform.
Sandwich provided in our package.
Anacapri
From Marina Piccolo, we walked up to the main road took a bus to Anacapri.
Bus per trip cost 1.80eur.
Beautiful white houses, peaceful, not as crowded as Capri.
Higher ground where we can take nice panorama shots.
Wish we have more time to get lost here....
Will come back again if I have a chance.
Piazza Vittoria
This is where the bus and taxi stops.
COOL!
100% Capri Taxi
Buses are quite regular, almost every 15mins.
From Anacapri to Capri takes approx. 7-8mins.
Piazza Umberto I (The Piazzetta)
Orange juice + Lemon juice 5eur
Shiok!
Faraglione
Entrance for the Grotta Azzurra
The Blue Grotta
Open: 9am - 5pm (13eur per person)
The cavity is approximately 60 meters long and 25 meters wide. The roof of the entrance is situated approximately 1 meter above the level of the sea and, for this reason, passengers are obliged to lie down in the boat whilst passing in to the cave. The boatman sets down his oars and maneuvers the boat inside with the aid of a chain attached to the vault of the entrance.
The blue coloring of the Grotta Azzurra is created by the daylight which enters via an underwater opening located immediately below the entrance to the cave. The light is filtered by the water which absorbs the red tones, leaving only the blue ones to pass into the cave.
We reached there after 5pm. Our guide stopped and we swam in without any charge!
It is quite adventurous and yet dangerous to do that.
There is a metal chain near the cave so we need to hold on to the chain tight and move in slowly.
When we were near, the current became quite strong and it covers the whole entrance. And if hold on to the chain, we may easily hit our head to the sharp edge rocks.
So timing is very important...
However, once we are inside the cave, the water inside is very calm.
Total darkness, we saw blue reflection that illuminates the cavern.
It's amazing!!!
Now it's time to go back to Sorrento.
GG is enjoying riding her banana boat.
