A day trip to the stunning Isle of Capri from Sorrento is a fantastic idea! Let’s make the most of your day while ensuring you get to see the Blue Grotto and enjoy a lovely meal without the crowds. Here’s a fun and relaxed itinerary for your day:

Morning: Departure from Sorrento

Late Morning: Blue Grotto

• 9:30 AM: Arrive in Capri! Head straight to the Blue Grotto. To avoid the crowds, it’s best to go early. You can take a small boat from the Marina Grande to the grotto. The entrance can be a bit tricky, but once you’re inside, the shimmering blue waters will leave you in awe!
• 10:30 AM: Spend some time soaking in the beauty of the grotto. Don’t forget to take some photos!

Lunch: A Hidden Gem

• 1:00 PM: For lunch, I recommend heading to a local trattoria in Anacapri. Try “La Zagara” or “Ristorante Il Solitario” for some authentic Italian cuisine. Enjoy a leisurely meal with fresh pasta or seafood while soaking in the serene atmosphere.
