About

The Blue Grotto (Greek: Φαραγγή) is a stunning sea cave located on the southwestern coast of Kastellorizo, the smallest Dodecanese island in the Aegean. Renowned for its luminous turquoise interior, the grotto is illuminated by a shaft of sunlight that pours in through a narrow opening, creating a dramatic light show that has attracted travelers from around the world. Although the cave is larger than its famous namesake in Capri, it remains accessible only by boat, offering visitors a unique opportunity to explore its clear waters and vibrant marine life. The surrounding island, with its limestone cliffs, quaint harbor, and winding alleyways, provides a picturesque backdrop for day‑time tours, making the Blue Grotto a must‑visit destination for anyone exploring the eastern Greek archipelago.
