Why Blue Grotto matters

The Blue Grotto is a series of sea caves where sunlight on the water turns the walls bright blue. Small boats take visitors in. The viewpoint above gives a wide look at the coast. Sea conditions control the trips, so check before you go.

Talking points

  • Boats run in when the sea is calm.
  • The best light is in the morning.
  • A clifftop viewpoint overlooks the arches.
