Tour of the island and stop by the Blue Grotto Departures any time Booking not necessary. But this square hollows reaches deeper into the roots of the mountain becoming an increasingly winding and narrow cuniculus; and the slabs of rock heaped at its sides suggest that the Romans opened this tunnel searching for spring water and abandoned it after a toilsome and fruitless exploration.
Therefore, the Romans not only knew the "Blue Grotto" and probably cut the narrow gap through which it is possible nowadays to enter it, but meant to render a visit to it easier and more restful by building a villa above it in a place that still looks wild and inaccessible and that offers no shelter even for small boats. They also tried unsuccessfully to catch a vein of spring water to be used perhaps in one of those fish ponds into which both fresh and sea water flowed.
Thus the "Blue Grotto" was the model which inspired the plan and the decoration of all the other rocky "nymphaea" in the island to the Romans, who by covering the walls and the vaults with mosaics, endeavoured to reproduce the inimitable colour of that pond that was the natural home of Glaucus and of his blue-haired retinue of Nereids.

Free entrance on the first Sunday of the month Not the discovery, but the revelation of the " Blue Grotto " is to be credited to the romantic disposition of two German tourists who visited Capri in Augustus Kopisch, a writer, and Ernst Fries, a painter.
