The Blue grotto is a natural cave located in the
north-western part of the Italian island of Capri.
The cave entrance
is quite small and can only be done by boat , but once inside tourists discover
a very spacious chamber.
What is unique
about this cave is the 1,5 meters wide hole on the wall that allows sunlight
into the cave thus giving the water it’s incredible color of almost glowing
blue.
Although it is now
one of Capri’s most visited sites , locals used to avoid it as it was thought
to be the inhabited by witches and sea monsters.
It seems the cave
was discovered a long time ago since in the early 1800s numerous marble statues
along with a landing spot were found inside.
