| On
this scenic full-day trip from Rome to Capri you'll sail across the
Gulf of Naples to the island of Capri, known as the 'Pearl of the
Mediterranean', where you'll take a boat ride to the beautiful Blue
Grotto and take in stunning views from Anacapri.
Your
journey begins by heading south along the Highway of the Sun, crossing
the fertile Roman countryside and the area known as Castelli Romani
dotted with enchanting medieval villages. You will make a stop approximately
halfway along the highway at the Benedictine Abbey of Montecassino,
noted for the famous battle and its complete destruction during
the Second World War.
Arriving
in Naples, you will board a jet boat for the 45-minute crossing
to Marina Grande, the port of Capri. Here you will have the option
(fees payable direct) of boarding a motorboat to reach the Blue
Grotto (Grotta Azzurra).

Sunlight
passes into an underwater cavity and shines through the seawater,
creating a magical blue reflection that illuminates the cavern. The
boat trip is subject to weather and sea conditions.
On
your return to the port, you'll board a minibus for a scenic drive
to Anacapri, 918 feet (280 meters) above sea level. You will see
wonderful views of the Bay of Naples, before continuing to a local
restaurant for lunch. After lunch you can take advantage of some
free time to explore Capri at your leisure. Don't forget to bring
your camera!
You'll
then return to Marina Grande and board the boat transfer to Naples.
As you enter the port, you'll see Naples' splendid Castel Nuovo
(a 12th-century fortress) and Royal Palace. Next, board the coach
for your return three hour journey to Rome.
