Description
Further information on the places visited:
Island of Capri
The island covers 10 square kilometers and is divided into two municipalities: Capri and Anacapri. The center of Capri centers around the Piazzetta, about 150 meters above sea level. Anacapri, on the other hand, is located higher up, at 275 meters above sea level. There are also two towns directly on the sea: Marina Grande (where the port is located) and Marina Piccola (on the opposite side of the port, where the Faraglioni are located).
The Faraglioni
The Faraglioni are three imposing rocks that emerge from the sea on the south-western side of Capri:
- Faraglione di Terra (or Saetta) : the closest to the coast.
- Faraglione di Mezzo (or Stella) : known for the natural arch that crosses it.
- Faraglione di Fuori (or Scopolo) : habitat of the rare blue lizard.
The name "Faraglioni" derives from the Greek pharos (lighthouse): in the past, fires were lit on these rocks to guide boats.
Few people know that there's a fourth, lesser-known stack: the Scoglio del Monacone, so named because of the presence of the monk seal there until the early 1900s. It's the only one of the stacks that, according to tradition, was once inhabited.
The Caves of Capri
Blue Grotto
The Blue Grotto is Capri's iconic attraction. 60 meters long and 25 meters wide, it has a very shallow entrance (less than one meter), accessible only by lying down in a small rowboat. Inside, the water takes on a brilliant blue hue thanks to a unique play of light. Entrance is only possible by sea, with a cash payment at the floating ticket office. In summer, the wait can be several hours. The grotto may be closed in case of rough seas.
Green Cave
Formerly known as the "Grotta dei Turchi," it is located on the southern side of the island. Inside, the water takes on a deep green hue. It can only be reached by sea. Nearby is the Grotta dei Santi, so called because of the shape of the rocks, which resemble figures kneeling in prayer.
White Cave and Wonderful Cave
During the boat tour of the island, you will also come across the White Grotto and the Marvelous Grotto, located near the Faraglione di Matermania.
- The Marvelous Cave opens several meters above sea level and is accessible via a ladder. Inside are spectacular stalactites and stalagmites.
- The White Grotto , located beneath the Meravigliosa, is decorated with white limestone formations. A famous stalagmite resembles the figure of the Madonna in prayer. This cave, too, can only be visited by sea.
