Do you mean the blue grotto? The blue grotto is the one with the museum underneath, the green grotto is a small cave with "green" water that can be seen while touring the island by boat. I would definitely recommend doing a one-hour tour of the island perimeter by power boat, the views are amazing! They take you through the "tunnel of love" in the faroese rocks, and they show you the green grotto and the coral grotto etc. The only place they don't go is the blue grotto, as that is managed by another tour company, but it is 25 Euros vs. the 12 Euro for the amazing perimeter boat tour! Marina Piccolo is nice, and has great views and fancy, rich hotels, but there are beautiful views to be found on the whole island!

I've not been to Capri in years so cannot offer good info. But while you await answers, you can do a search here (or just Google "Fodor's forums Capri Day trips") and find threads like this one:

The chairlift from Anacapri up Monte Solero is wonderful too, the views from there are stunning! If I had to pick, I would say Boat tour around the perimeter first, then chairlift up the mountain, followed by the rest! Though, you could do them in either order really, when I was there, I went up the mountain in the morning, then had the amazing boat ride in the afternoon and it was honestly, pretty much the best day on my entire 5 week trip around Europe!
