Blue Caves were discovered in 1897 and its name derives from the stunning azure water. Through the arch of fantastic shapes, carved in white rocks by nature, you will find yourself in the incredible beauty of the cave. The sun's rays penetrate here, refracted about rich in calcium and minerals and water in combination with white rocks create a stunning effect. The depth here is on average about 4 m, and the water is so clear that you can see every pebble on the bottom. Blue Caves are particularly popular with snorkellers.

The nearest port from which you can go on a tour of this amazing place - Agios Nikolaos, located on the northwest coast of the island. But, of course, arrange an excursion to the Blue Cave can be from virtually any port of Zakynthos. You can also rent a boat and go to the caves themselves. The truth in this case is worth considering that a visit to Blue Cave (and especially swimming) in bad weather conditions is strongly recommended.
