1. During the tour of the island by boat you will see the marvelous White Grotto which extends for 30 meters and takes its name from the color of its rocks: an extraordinary pure white. Inside, the waters form two small lakes communicating through an artificial channel carved into the rock. In Roman times it is said to have been used as a shelter for boats, but if you look carefully you will notice that the white walls show some signs of the passage of man: in the seventeenth century the population took refuge in this cave to hide from pirate attacks!

2. During the boat tour of the island you will see the marvelous Green Grotto which owes its name to the color of its waters. The light penetrates through the entrance, reflecting on the seabed and paints the waves of the sea an emerald green. This inlet was used by Turkish corsairs as an outpost to ambush and plunder passing boats. There are two openings: the western one located 4 meters below sea level and the eastern one located on the surface. The opening of the Green Grotto in Capri is 7 meters high. You can swim in if the sea is calm! Inside, the walls are irregular and covered with sedimentary rocks, the dolomites, the oldest on Capri. The green of the water can vary in intensity according to the weather conditions and the hours of the day. The time is calculated also considering the time needed to reach the destination

About Sorrento

Sorrento perches on cliffs above the Bay of Naples, a charming lemon-scented town that makes an easy base for Capri, Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast.

The town's centre is Piazza Tasso, from which narrow lanes run past churches, shops selling limoncello and inlaid woodwork, and the peaceful cloister of San Francesco. Steps and lifts lead down the cliffs to Marina Piccola, where the boats leave, and to Marina Grande, a fishing harbour with seafood restaurants right by the water.

Top-ranked sights in Sorrento: Marina Grande, Baths of Queen Giovanna (Bagni Regina Giovanna), Praiano.
