Boat to
Green Grotto (Grotta Verde), Capri, Italy
View Original Description
The Green Grotto, also known as the Grotto Verde, is a popular sea cave on the island of Capri, just off the coast of Naples, Italy. However, it is not typically as crowded as the even more popular Blue Grotto. One of several caves along the coast of Capri, it gets its name from the green light that reflects on the rocks inside of the cave, creating a beautiful visual effect for visitors to the cave. The cave has two openings, the smallest of which lets in the sunlight. It is also possible to swim through the grotto, but you may need to ask the driver of your boat to let you off on one side to swim to the other.
The Green Grotto is located on the southern coast of Capri, not far from Punta Ventroso. It is only possible to reach the cave by taking a boat from Marina Grande, the largest port on Capri. Only a few boats are able to go into the cave at a time, so at peak times, you may end up waiting.
