The price for entry to the Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra) in Capri is typically around €15-18 per person. This includes a boat ride to the grotto entrance, but there are some additional costs for transfers and tours. If you’re starting from Naples or Sorrento and need full transport, expect to pay closer to US$130.

Q: Do I need to book tickets in advance for the Blue Grotto in Capri?

Booking tickets in advance for the Blue Grotto in Capri is not mandatory, but it’s recommended to check availability ahead of time and consider booking a tour to avoid wait times. During peak travel season—and especially in July and August—boats can line up in long queues to enter the grotto.

Q: How do I get to the Blue Grotto from Capri town?

To get to the Blue Grotto from the town of Capri, you can take a bus or taxi to Marina Grande and either board a boat or join a guided tour. During summer, you can easily take buses to Anacapri and the Blue Grotto parking area—from there, a flight of steps leads to the cave entrance.

Q: What should I bring with me when visiting the Blue Grotto in Capri?

When visiting the Blue Grotto in Capri, it’s a good idea to bring a small waterproof bag to keep your belongings dry from water spray and a camera with a waterproof case or cover. At the cave entrance, admission tickets are cash-only, so be sure to bring enough euros.

Q: Can I swim inside the Blue Grotto in Capri?

No, you can’t swim inside the Blue Grotto in Capri, due to safety regulations and ongoing efforts to preserve the natural environment of the immensely popular sea cave. Visitors who swim into the cave or dive from boats into the water even outside of the official opening hours risk paying fines of thousands of euros.
