Capri and its "Blue Grotto" - Italy's Legends by the Sea
Thus, at the very top of Capri, there is a hermit monastery with a view to the Vesuvius. Vittorio Staiano and Carmine Russo have to ring the bells at exactly twelve o'clock. But the way to the monastery is not so easy, a chair lift and a steep path await them; as a reward, a good coffee in the chapel beckons with heavenly peace.
In the hustle and bustle that reigns among them, Michele Balsamo gets his jewel back into shape. He is the proud winner of the Vespa Club. His Ape tricycle transporter with curtains, jukeboxes and romantic lighting has been voted the most beautiful on the island.
The most famous spot of Capri is not on the island, but below it: La Grotta Azzurra. When the sea is calm, Roberto rows tourists into the "Blue Grotto" in a tiny boat and sings in phenomenal acoustics, waiting for a decent tip. There is competition for the paying guests. Word has long since got around which nationalities are particularly generous and which are not.
Opposite Capri is the Amalfi Coast. Legendary places like Sorrento or Positano lie on the steep coast between Naples and Salerno. Who wants to build on this panorama road, calls Giovanni Bottone. He runs a transport company with mules and is well known. He is in charge of several construction sites at the same time, all of which can only be reached by stairs. It is often necessary to climb over 500 steps. Then only Giovanni's animals carry bricks or mortar. But there are also places where not even his donkeys can get to.
The small bay Conca dei Marini can only be reached from the water. There, the Lauritanos run the restaurant La Tonnarella. In former times the tuna fish were gathered here, since the 1950s they were not seen here anymore. But Jacky Kennedy came as a guest to the bay and ate a pasta in the beach cottage of Umberto. That was the beginning of the restaurant. Today Umbertos young granddaughters run the shop with the difficult logistics and the risk that not one guest will come in rough seas.
The Morvillo fishing family also depends on the weather. They are the only ones on the coast who are allowed to fetch Gamberetti from the sea. Her catch is so coveted that it is sold directly from the cutter. The director of the Marine National Park makes sure that this family remains the only shrimp fisher. He also uses the so-called "sea sweeper" every day, a floating rust bucket that collects garbage between Sorrento and Amalfi.
Maria Cirillo trains with her rescue dogs in the place that gave the coast its name. She makes Golden Retriever get people who threaten to drown out of the water. But before the work begins, there is a coffee at the bar and a round of cornetti for the dogs. Who knows what will happen on the busy beach?

After MUCH investigation, despite how optimistic and self promoting this vlog is Everyone says the blue grotto is a 5 minute rii off and then the try yo get tips on top of the $23 for 5 minute small boat ride and 1- 3 hour wait PLUS more $$$ if you get a boat to get over there to sit in the sun for 1-3 hours WITH NO BATHROOM BIG TOURIST TRAP/RIPOFF
ОтветитьDespite everything said, i am sure those donkeys are mistreated, as are all labor animals The vlog said the donkeys can support 400lbs but google says 120lbs
I am sure there are more humane ways to do the work And DOGS to save people ?!?!!! WTF How about a life guard on a surg board or a jet ski WTF is wrong with people over there !!!!
The correct Italian name is "Grotta Azzurra".

The Blue Grotto is the emblem of Capri. It is a sea cave found on the coast of the island and is a well-known spot to all who visit the area. This cave is unique for its brilliant blue glow which comes from two sources: the entrance to the cave (a small opening where only one rowboat can enter at a time) and a bigger hole beneath the entrance. When viewed from inside the cave, the entrance appears as a brilliant white light just above the waterline, while the underwater hole, which is the larger source of light, provides a blue glow.

The island of Capri is famous for many reasons. It has jaw-dropping natural beauty, delicious cuisine and world-class shopping. It's also a place to see and be seen – there's a reason why so many celebrities anchor their yachts in Marina Grande.

Bravo!!! This is PRECISELY the kind of documentary-about-a-beautiful-place that I love: documenting cool people doing varied interesting things in a stunning place; clearly with an awareness of just how blessed they are to be where they were. Thanks many times over for the upload!!!
Ответить
Much better than the Blue Cave off the coast of Split, Croatia; there the cave is much smaller, there're 5 boats at a time, one can barely see the water, no bathing is allowed, no good singer either.
Ответить
Giovanni looks exactly like my uncle. It's insane.
Ответить
Italy used to be named Vitalia, which meant 'land of Cattle.'

Next year in Capri!

Very good video..poor mules thou
Ответить
"Italians are masters of organisation." Such a statement was never more true... in more ways than one. If I had to guess, Giovanni's voice was too deep to be a soprano... lol.
Ответить
far too busy going in to the blue grotto......that is amazing to watch the rescue dogs...something that other countries could adopt....
Ответить
I have visited Capri. This video really captures its beauty.
Cappella
The sacastic timing of the narrator is hilarious !
Ответить
Been there. Loved it. The only regret was couldn’t stay longer. Hopefully I can visit again
Ответить
Please remind me to never go to this place and especially not to that blue grotto and have to suffer that apaling singing.
ОтветитьThe fat slob. What a pathetic excuse for a human. Donkeys are work animals yes but you don't work them TO DEATH.
Ответить
What a shame, they don't have McDonalds, Home Depot or CVS.. How do they live?
