I had one of the best weekends of my life in Capri -- such a magical, magical, place -- but I was sadly unable to go into the Blue Grotto due to choppy seas! Devastating. At least it means that I MUST return someday. What a gorgeous photo.

Glad you went and even more glad you shared. :) I think some places just MUST be seen whether touristy or tourist trap or not … and the Blue Grotto is one of those MUST SEE places.

It's great to see your posts on the Amalfi Coast coming! :-) I've been to Capri many times, but I've yet to visit the Blue Grotto. Yes, I know it is a touristy spot, but I still want to go. It is such a myth here, and something I want to experience myself at least once. Thanks for sharing & I look forward to your upcoming Amalfi Coast stories! Ciao ciao, Laura Ciao Keith!

But last year, after our taxi driver's brakes failed I learned the secret of really enjoying the experience. I won't post my blog link here, but if you follow my tweets, a few days ago I posted "The Secrets of the Blue Grotto" on this very subject. Hope you had a wonderful time, and thanks for sharing a great photo. And visit La Tagliata Tuesday night above Positano in Montepertuso for great live music, good food, and dancing on the tables. Tell Pepino I sent you! Keith:

It is a magical spot but I kind of left it in the middle whether it's worth all the trouble and the price for 5 minutes. My friends and I felt it was a tourist trap but we spoke to several others who absolutely loved it so my advice to everyone is, go there and find out for yourself! :-) Cheers, Keith Hi Lisa,

True, I wish I could've spent longer than a shutter click on the camera to really appreciate the natural wonder but the boats were stacking up in the cave like 727s at Newark Airport at rush hour. Don't miss it if you are on or near Capri. Keith it is well worth the admission fee and the 3 boat rides to get there.
