After hearing a lot about the beauty of a Blue Grotto in Ana-Capri, Italy, I decided to take my mom so we could go and experience it.
After buses and a small hike, you arrive to the end of the rocks. You must walk down to the water. There is a path, but it is a bit steep. Once you pay the man for your ticket, you get into a boat. If the water is "good" that day, you can go on the tour, if not, it is not possible to enter because the water floods the small hole at the entrance. We were very lucky this day, especially after being told that there was nothing but bad weather in store for the weekend.
We got into the boat, and immediately the man told us to sit down with our legs in a "V." We start paddling *well, the guide started paddling* and upon entrance to the opening, the guide told us to lay down in the boat. We laid down, and were immediately thrust into the hole. Once we got inside, the blue color was absolutely unreal. It was so blue, that I can't even find a remote comparison. There apparently is light crystal sand on the bottom of the Grotto, and when the sun hits it just right, it makes a blue reflection.
Amazing.
