Private Tour Around The Island Caves and Seabeds of the Blue Sea
Tour of the island that requires 3 hours of sailing without rushing, visiting caves and coves. On our route we find the remains of ancient Roman landings, we will arrive at the Blue Grotto area where, upon request and weather permitting, we will stop to visit the nymphaeum of the emperor Augustus Tiberius. Continuing we will notice some watchtower fortifications, part of a defensive system of the island used in the Napoleonic wars but already used more anciently against the pirate raids of the Saracens. We will then be amazed by Punta Carena with its large lighthouse, very important for commercial navigation. Punta del Tuono and various caves and ravines we will find them until we reach the Green Grotto area, a real spectacle. Next up is Marina Piccola, the southern area of the island kissed by the sun even in winter, making it pleasant for a swim in the sea all year round. The Faraglioni are the backdrop to this fantastic postcard. Dive and photo mandatory!

What's included in Private Tour Around The Island Caves and Seabeds of the Blue Sea
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Blue Grotto
Beautiful experience but there is a huge line so at least you lose an hour for access, which is via a rowing boat that offers the service following the payment of an entrance fee. The current price is €18 per person. Having been a nymphaeum of the Roman emperors, it has become a museum so the price of the ticket is divided between the boatman and the Italian State. A tip to the boatman is good practice to encourage him to explain the history or to sing you a typical ancient song.
I Faraglioni
The three imposing stacks that rise to defend the bay of Marina Piccola, a symbol of the island and a favorite destination for a souvenir photo.
Grotta Verde
Beautiful area full of caves and coves with waters colored in a smoky green. The colors of the sea change throughout the day.
