Translated to the Blue Grotto, this is a natural cavern structure with an awe-inspiring beauty. With a small opening, this site is accessed by boat only if weather permits - when sea waters are calm. Once inside, prepare to be amazed by the magical iridescent blue light reflecting on the walls from the sun rays entering the cave’s opening.
