Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra)An emblematic tourist attraction, the Blue Grotto (Grotta
Azzurra) is reason enough for any visitor to Naples to make the
short trip across to the island of Capri. A world-famous sea cave,
the Blue Grotto is perpetually filled with brilliant emerald light,
caused by sunlight entering through an underwater cavity and
shining through the seawater from beneath. The cave also contains a
smaller opening right at the level of the water-line, through which
bright sunshine pours, and through which tourists are admitted by
row-boat. Gaze in wonder at the spectral water, more light-filled
than the air in the cave, and be sure to dip your hands and watch
them glow an eerie silver-blue. Since row-boats entering the cave
can only take a maximum of three passengers, you are ensured of a
private and truly unforgettable experience in the Blue Grotto, one
which you will treasure for the rest of your life. |
