Blue Grotto cave is located in the Island of Capri, Italy. It was a great adventurous place to swim. The cave is flooded with a sea water with a brilliant colour of blue or emerald light.
Through a small hole ( meter and half in diameter) of the cave we can enter into this with a small tiny rowboat.Due to the underwater cavity and sun shining through the seawater creates a blue reflection that illuminates beauty of the cave.
The grotto was known by the Romans, and apparently used by the Emperor Tiberius during the years when he retired to Capri. Roman sculptures of the appropriate period showing Neptune and triton's have been recovered from the cave.
The Blue Grotto became a famous tourist destination in the 1830s, after the visit of German writer August Kopisch and his friend Ernst Fries to the cave in 1826.
