The Grotta Azzurra — Blue Grotto — is Capri's most magical natural phenomenon, a sea cave where sunlight enters through an underwater opening and refracts to create an ethereal blue luminescence that turns the entire cave interior into shimmering sapphire. Visitors enter by lying flat in small rowing boats that skim through the low entrance, and the experience is genuinely otherworldly. Hotels near the Blue Grotto access point give early risers the chance to visit before the day-tripping crowds arrive.
