On the Blue Island, famous throughout the world for its enchanting Blue Grotto, there is also a small reptile with a characteristic blue-green color which on its even darker back takes on an intense cobalt blue hue: it is the blue lizard of Capri, the Podarcis siculus coeruleus formerly Lacerta coerulea faraglionensis, which is an endemic subspecies of the field lizard.

No one had the courage to approach it for some time. Too many mysterious and disturbing stories were told and handed down about that sea cave, opening on the northwestern side of the island. Stories well known to the island notary, Don Giuseppe Pagano, who was strongly intrigued by them.

If throughout the world the name of Capri is linked to the Blue Grotto, one of the unmissable stops for every visitor who lands there, the island, due to its geological characteristics, is full of caves, both along the coastal perimeter and in the interior.

Along the high rocky coast of the island, there are small, delightful bays that are more easily accessible from the sea than from the land.
