Our guide for the day, Paola, met us at the Marina Grande dock where our Positano ferry arrived in Capri for a personal tour for my partner and I. From the time we arrived to the time we departed on our return ferry, we were whisked to all the sites in Capri, Anacapri, and culminating at the Blue Grotto. It was so crowded with visitors on the island and lines everywhere for the different sites. The Blue Grotto was closed in the morning due to higher tides which we were going to do first, so instead of waiting in line for possibly two hours, she changed plans and took us on the funicular thru Capri’s square and to the beautiful gardens and paths of Giardini di Augusto, then in a convertible with awning for a drive up the steep road to Anacapri boasting views of the coastline to take the single chairlifts round trip to the top for more breathtaking views. We had lunch in a cute restaurant in Anacapri before cabbing over to the Blue Grotto. The line was long, but Paola briefly disappeared and directed us to pass so many waiting visitors to catch a row boat to enter the Blue Grotto, a wonderful viewing experience. Coming back out of the entrance, she was on a tour cruise boat to take us by water back to Marina Grande to catch an earlier ferry back instead of backtracking by windy roads to the docks.. All in all, our day trip was seamless and very educational. Thank you Paola for a memorable day which we will never forget!!!
