Today's beautiful scenery is Capri Island in Italy

💘 Capri Island is known as a fairyland on the sea, a famous holiday resort in the Bay of Naples, 18 nautical miles from Naples, surrounded by the sea, and can only be reached by ferry or hydrofoil. Since the Roman times, it has been a renowned tourist and health resort. Emperor Augustus landed on the island on his return from the Eastern campaigns, captivated by its beautiful environment and pleasant climate, and he exchanged Capri Island for the Ischia Island at four times its value to use as his summer retreat. Capri Island is characterized by its limestone terrain, with steep rocks and many peculiar caves among them, the most famous being the 'Blue Grotto,' which is hailed as one of the seven wonders of the world. The entrance to the Blue Grotto is beneath the cliffs, and it is so small that only a small boat can enter. Due to the special structure of the entrance, sunlight can enter the cave from the entrance and is also reflected from the bottom of the water inside the cave. Therefore, the sea water inside the cave is crystal blue, mysterious and unpredictable, and even the rocks inside the cave turn blue, hence the name 'Blue Grotto.' To visit the Blue Grotto, one must choose the right time: first, the weather must be clear; second, it should be at low tide; and third, there should be no wind and waves.
