September 10, 2018 By itravelnet.com

Capri & the Blue Grotto: the magnificent part of the Mediterranean sea

If you are confused about selecting the right adjective to describe something, you must be at Capri. Yes, Capri is a small island in Italy’s Bay of Naples, which can be described with words such as enchanting, enthralling, appealing and fortunate.

The island of Capri is globally-reputed for its vibrantly-colored villages adhering to hillsides. It shares a buzz of bustling towns where frequent travelers and tourists – all come down for the exquisiteness.

In fact, when you dive down to this piece of Italian paradise, you’ll discover a place which is refined, graceful, yet isolated and personal, simultaneously.

Capri is frequently talked about as the most tempting island in the Mediterranean. The island shows off a blending bravura of natural beauty and charisma. The island’s prosperous history is seasoned with fascinating stories of scandal and multi-hued characters.

The best way to visit Capri Island is by the sea, you can hire a Yacht from Capri but even if you stay in Sorrento, Naples or on the Amalfi Coast.

Sorrento Holiday Charter

The Town of Capri: A Hub of Mediterranean Architecture

The island’s major town is a labyrinth of shops and restaurants. The building in this chief town showcases archetypal Mediterranean architecture.

The town is made of slender streets and there are stairways which are traversed by walls. These buttresses support the delightful whitewashed buildings. The Capri Town is inhabited by almost 7,300 people.

The Fish Restaurant

The main town of Capri is an extravagant focal point that houses several sea food restaurants. For instance, Ristorante Lo Zodiaco is one of the finest of the lot, selling sea food.

At Lo Zodiaco, you will be able to savor the taste of Capri along with the hum of the waves and the fragrance of the sea. The restaurant is located in Marina Grande which is the most ancient fishing district.

Another such amazing restaurant is Ziqu. The most sophisticated thing about this restaurant is not just the delightful Mediterranean cuisine. The restaurant plays an observation platform for the best view of the Bay of Naples.

Beaches at Capri

If you’re in Capri and wondering about watching the sunset, you must take a trip to Anacapri. Anacapri is the one of the best places to observe the sunset with a cocktail in your hand. You and your loved one can gather around to gaze at the blazing spectacle.

Another fascinating place to watch the sunset is the Maliblu beach club. It is situated in the south west side of the island. Maliblu beach club is the most fashionable beach club of the island. Galvanize your day at Maliblu beach club with music, food, cocktails, and sunset – a perfect blend of emotions.

While talking about beaches, you must now forget Marina Piccola or the ‘little harbor’. Away from the chaos of the Marina Grande, this beach is famous for Siren’s Rock. Siren’s Rock is a place devoted to the area where enchanting mythological mermaid-like creatures charmed local fishermen, as told in Roman legend.

The Hidden Mythical Paradise of The Blue Grotto

What is It?

Finally, we come to the concealed paradise knows as Blue Grotto – which is the most fascinating place to be when you are in Capri.

Also known as the Grotto Azzura, the place is a perfect representation of a floating blue sky. The Blue Grotto is a cavern-like structure and is quite self-explanatory from its name. However, the place is not at all explainable.

The doorway to the grotto is somewhat claustrophic and that is where the excitement lies. The passage to the cave is quite low and you have to lie back in the boat. There will be complete darkness for a span of seconds second. Then, without a notice, you will be rewarded with the otherworldly light of the Blue Grotto.

The Blue Light

The blue light of the grotto is created by an underwater cavity at the entrance of the cave. This opening strains out the entering light by creating the blue light which is extremely stunning. The brilliance and glow of the light seems like a blue fire. You would feel like the whole cave is set on blue flames and blue reflections are painting the dark cave’s ceiling.

The objects in the water – like the boat’s oars – create little bubbles. These bubbles cause the light to refract in a distinctive way and silver streaks appear. Here you may actually think about the strangeness nature bears. Imagine how such an astounding beauty is kept so concealed away in a mundane ordinary veneer.

Thus to be in the lap of the cove-studded beaches and the dazzling blue water of the sea – Capri would turn out to be the best place.

Capri is an island of wild loveliness carved by wind, sea and the hand of man.

Boat and Breakfast

And if you want to really leave the island at 360°, you can also sleep on a yacht docked at Capri Island.
