Sorrento has always been a sought-after destination for exclusive tourism. There is a particular place, which testifies how much the peninsula since antiquity was chosen as a holiday destination: the Baths of Queen Giovanna, a fascinating uncontaminated basin, worthy of a queen.
It is a cliff located at the head of Sorrento, as well as one of the most important archaeological sites of the Sorrento peninsula. An enchanting place, where nature, sea and past blend together. The name, according to legend, is due to Queen Giovanna D'Angiò, sovereign of Naples.
It is a real natural pool surrounded by the cliff. The water is emerald-coloured and a natural arch makes you see the open sea from which it remains protected.
It is said that the Queen was vacationing in this area between 1371 and 1435 and that she took baths with her young lovers in this place because the natural shape of the basin surrounded by rocks kept her away from prying eyes.
The Baths of Queen Giovanna are a treasure trove of history and host the remains of an ancient Roman villa, whose name was "Villa Pollio Felice", which stood right on the promontory of the head of Sorrento. Today, of this structure dating back to the 1st century BC and reachable both from land and sea, only the ruins remain.
The Faraglioni of Capri are three large rocks that emerge from the sea, on the south-western side of the island. The highest is the Faraglione di Terra or Saetta, then there is the Faraglione di Mezzo or Stella separated from the first by the sea and in which there is the famous cavity in the center (taken in many films and TV spots) and finally there is the Faraglione di Fuori or Scopolo, natural habitat of the famous blue lizard. It is said that the lizard took these colours to blend in with the sea and the sky.
The Faraglioni for centuries have illuminated the moonless nights of the sailors: the name Faraglioni derives from the Greek pharos, which means lighthouse. In the past, fires were lit on these rocks to illuminate the ships' route.
A curiosity that not everyone knows is that there is a fourth secret stack called Scoglio del Monacone, which rises behind the three most famous. It owes its name to the monk seal that populated its waters since 1904 and seems to be the only one to have been inhabited.
The Blue Grotto is Capri's most famous attraction : people from all over the world come to see it even for a few minutes. It is 25 meters wide and 60 meters long with an entrance less than a meter high. As a matter of fact, to enter it you have to lie on the bottom of a rowboat that slides through the small arch. Inside we find ourselves floating in the dark, on a water so blue that it seems transparent.
The entrance fee is payable exclusively on the spot at the floating box office anchored at the entrance of the cave (and only in cash). Unfortunately, in the summer you need to queue for hours to do the boat ride inside, which lasts only about 5 minutes.
To highlight that the Blue Grotto is subject to closure because of the wind and the rough sea that make it impossible to enter.
The Green Grotto, known in ancient times as the Turkish Grotto, is located on the southern side of the Island of Capri and is known for the colour of the water in its interior that, due to a special play of light, takes on the green colour. The Green Grotto can only be reached by sea. A curiosity: near the Green Grotto, going towards the Lighthouse of Punta Carena, you can admire the Grotto of the Saints which takes its name from the characteristic shape of the rocks that emerge from the sea inside the cave itself and that look like a group of monks or people kneeling in prayer.
Sailing around the island of Capri you will find numerous caves to discover. Two of the most striking are the White Grotto and the Marvelous Grotto, both close to the Faraglione di Matermania. Unlike other caves on the island of Capri, the opening of the Marvelous Grotto is not located at sea level but at a height of several meters.
Once inside, you are fascinated by the spectacle of stalactites and stalagmites and the view that you can enjoy on the sea below. Access to this splendid grotto is possible from a convenient ladder with a landing place for boats.
The peculiarity of the Marvelous Grotto is that of overlooking another cave, equally famous. Below, in fact, there is the opening of the White Cave, so called for the limestone volutes that literally decorate its vault and its walls. Another important characteristic is the presence of a stalagmite resembling the Virgin Mary in prayer.
The White Cave can only be accessed by sea.
