Getting There
Foot
From the main square, Piazza Umberto I, head towards the Funicolare (cable car station) located at the eastern end of the square. Take the Funicolare down to the Marina Grande. Once you arrive at Marina Grande, exit the station and turn left, walking along the waterfront until you reach the ferry terminal.
Boat
At the ferry terminal, look for the boats that offer tours to the Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra). Purchase your ticket for a boat tour that includes a visit to the Azura Grotta. The boat will take you along the coastline, providing stunning views of the cliffs and the sea before arriving at the Azura Grotta.
Foot
Once the boat reaches the Azura Grotta, you will need to transfer to a smaller rowboat, as the entrance is too small for larger vessels. Follow the guide's instructions and be prepared to lie down in the boat as you enter the grotto. Enjoy the magical blue light inside while taking photos, but be mindful of your surroundings.
