A simply sensational attraction, Make sure you get out of the boat and have a swim this this magestic sea cave. Go with Captain George who will also take you to the little island of Ro.
The Blue Grotto is a must do if you get to Kastelorizo. Early morning gets the best light so if you can try and aim for that. Plenty of guides to take you, we took Tony and he was great. A swim is something amazing, it makes you glow in the water!
You need a boat to reach the blue cave and an experienced driver to get you inside but the view and the feeling inside is just perfect. Don't miss it!!!
The blue colour of the water in the grotto is amazing. We travelled by boat into the grotto. It can be difficult to get a boat in due to the height of the water in the grotto. We understand some people swim in while the boat stays out, meaning you would have to tread water while inside. Our captain Kostas was very accommodating and clearly has good seamanship skills. Visiting the grotto is the must do activity in Kastellorizo.
We take a speed boat at 11 am. Ten euros per person. 10 min bumpy journey on the waves. It was really good experience for us. We swam in and the inside of cave was amazing.
We rent a speed boat from the main harbour, for 10 euros per person and it takes 10 min to go to the cave..Due to the season (august) water level was high and although we went there in the morning around 10:00, we could not get inside with boat, so we jumped into the sea and get inside swimming with my husband and my year old daughter who is a good swimmer as well. 32 meters height inside and goes 80 meters deep as we have learned. Our captain Kostas who waited outside while we swim in and asked us to keep close to the entrance while we are inside as it was very wavy ... Definitely took your googles in to see your body turns into electric blue inside the water. Must see how mother nature rules ..
Take a boat around here for a small fee-it is a must do when visiting Kastellorizo. It is a lot smaller than you think so be careful when diving in. Probably better when tide is lower.When you dive in go and enter the cave as the colours are amazing. Worth the trip.
Absolutely amazing. Very serene, try to time it with the tides so you can spend half an hour inside the cave!
It is a very special place and I heard people describe it as the best cave in the Mediterranean area but was sceptical. I believe it. It is amazingly heavenly.
I have been to the various blue grotto's around the world but this is a must see-I have been here a number of times and I never tire of the different shades of blue, of the peace and tranquility of the grotto, of the depth of the cave, of the kingfishers that I see swooping in and out and of the oohs... and ahhs.... that I hear from the mouth of first timers- I have been with both Captain Andonis and Captain Steve and both get you through the cave entrance at a gasp. Andonis speaks English so he gives you a great tourist run down of the island and its sights. Captain Steve has been sailing the seas of Kastellorizo since he was a small child so his experiences are first hand and he also tells you about how the pirates used the cave. Make sure you go during good weather- if the sea is rough, it is hard to enter and can be a little frightening.
