This tour offers a different way to see Capri, without the usual touristic stops like the Blue Grotto or a shopping tour in the boutique stores. On foot you can enjoy the landscape, the colour of the sea and the various paths that other tourists will miss. This island is known as the BLUE ISLAND due to the so many shades of blue on offer, such as, the Lithodora Rosmarinifolia (Lithospermo) which is a native beautiful blue flower, the bright blue lizards which live on the Faraglioni of Capri, the famous Grotto Azzurra (English: Blue Grotto) and of course the coastal sea which surrounds Capri in various shades of magnificent blues.
