Capri Blue Grotto and Sorrento Coast Boat Tour
Latest page update: 6 January 2025
|
The Capri Blue Grotto and Sorrento Coast Boat Tour is an eight hour excursion starting early in the morning in order to reduce waiting time at the island's most popular attraction.
Heading directly across to the Blue Grotto beats the majority of people to the cave and then gives you the whole day to explore Capri on foot before heading back to Sorrento via the coastline. |
