More about Blue Grotto

The Blue Grotto's striking coloration is caused by sunlight passing through an underwater cavity and shining through the seawater. This effect is best witnessed between noon and two p.m. Accessing the cave requires a small boat, and entry is dependent on calm sea conditions. With its historical significance dating back to Roman times, the site attracts many visitors annually.
