On the Blue Island there are two berths for boats, as well as the private piers of restaurants on the sea. These 2 ports are Marina Grande and Marina Piccola. The translation of Grande into English is big, and that of Piccola is small, from here you can immediately understand that the port for ferries and yachts is Marina Grande. Yachts from all over the world moor here in the summer and it is a pleasure to walk around the port in the evening when they are lit up and compete with the most beautiful colors. Marina Piccola is the ancient mooring point of the island’s fishermen and is a small pier for embarkation and disembarkation immersed in the most beautiful and evocative point of the island which is the bay of Marina Piccola. The small port has the convenience of not being as crowded as the Marina Grande since only boats up to 10 meters small can make embarkation and disembarkation operations.

The coast of Capri, decide between the side of the town of Capri and that of Anacapri is full of secret bays of ancient natural caves. Some of these caves are as famous throughout the world as the Blue Grotto Museum, others were once pirate hideouts like the Green Grotto. During the boat tour you can visit them and that’s the only way you can admire them. Beyond the most famous Blue and Green caves we will visit the White cave, famous for a natural stalagmites that to those who admire it appears as a statue of the Virgin Mary in prayer. We will also visit the Coral Cave, where we will be able to admire the orange coral days that frame the pools of water in the cave.

The Faraglioni are the symbol of Capri in the world. The photos of the three rocks that emerge from the sea are now widespread everywhere. The highest point is about 104 meters and the natural arch formed over the centuries thanks to the effects of erosion allows boats to pass through. But the Faraglioni are not only famous for the beauty that is undisputed, but also for the particularity of hosting an animal species that can not be found anywhere else in the world: the Blue Lizard. The entire island is full of caves and caverns both large and small as the blue cave, but beyond these conformations nature has also enjoyed creating magnificent natural arches. One of these we can see on the tour, is the famous elephant trunk, the largest arch on the island that owes its name to the resemblance to the elephant trunk.

On the side of Anacapri precisely between the lighthouse of Punta Carena and the Grotta Azzura we can see a series of walled buildings located along the tips of the coast, are the ancient forts of the island. Built during the Middle Ages these buildings served as outposts of defense against pirate attacks that often attacked the island in past centuries. The cannons that were in these forts can now be visited at the Casa Rossa museum in the center of Anacapri.
