点评:I know the Blue Grotto is considered a must-do in Capri, but for us, it was honestly overrated.
Getting into the small rowboats felt chaotic and extremely rushed. They put four people in our boat, which was not very comfortable, and you have to lie down very low to enter the grotto. Once we got inside, my first thought was actually, “This is it?” Looking straight ahead, it mostly looked dark. It wasn’t until we turned and looked back toward the entrance that we saw the beautiful glowing blue water you see in all the photos.
The blue really is beautiful, but there were probably around 10 other little boats inside at the same time, so instead of feeling peaceful or magical, it felt crowded and very touristy. You’re moved in and out so quickly that there’s barely time to take it in.
The tipping experience also left a bad taste in our mouths. My husband initially tried to give our rowboat operator €10 total, and he yelled that it was supposed to be €10 per person. Being pressured for a specific tip after already paying for the experience made the whole thing feel even more transactional.
I’m glad we can say we saw the Blue Grotto, and the blue water itself is definitely unique, but I wouldn’t personally go out of my way to do it again. Something I expected to feel magical ended up feeling rushed, chaotic and overly touristy.
翻译:我知道蓝洞被视为卡普里岛上必游的景点,但对我们来说,它实在是被过分夸赞了。
登上那些小划艇的过程混乱又匆忙。他们把四个人塞进我们的船里,坐起来相当不舒服;为了进入洞内,还必须把身体放得非常低。进去之后,我的第一反应其实是:“就这样?” 往前看去,里面大多都是一片昏暗。直到我们转身朝入口处望去,才看到了那些照片里出现的、闪闪发光的蔚蓝色湖水。
那种蓝色确实很美,但当时大概还有10艘左右的小船也在里面,所以整个氛围并不宁静或神奇,反而显得拥挤且充满旅游气息。人们进进出出得极快,几乎没时间好好欣赏一番。
给小费的经历也让我们心里很不舒服。我丈夫起初只打算给划船师傅10欧元,结果对方大喊道:每人应该付10欧元才对。在已经支付了体验费用后还被催促给小费,这让整个过程显得更加商业化、利益驱动色彩浓厚。
很高兴我们确实亲眼看到了蓝洞,那里的蓝色海水确实与众不同。不过就我个人而言,不会特意再去一次。原本以为会是一次充满魔幻色彩的体验,结果却显得仓促、混乱,而且充满了浓浓的旅游商业化气息。
