Why Blue Grotto matters

Small rowing boats carry visitors through a narrow opening into the cave, where the water glows electric blue. It depends on weather and sea conditions, and queues can be long. A quick but memorable trip.

Talking points

  • Entry is by small rowing boat.
  • Closed in rough seas.
  • Queues can be long.
  • Boat fees are separate from entrance.
