Blue Grotto - Malta.jpg

Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download

The Blue Grotto is actually a number of sea caverns on the south coast of Malta accessible by boats. Every day from sunrise until about 1 pm a unique sight can be observed here. The location of the cave combined with the sunlight lead to the water mirroring showing numerous shades of blue. Several caverns mirror the brilliant phosphorescent colours of the underwater flora; other caverns show a deep dark shade of blue. From this point you can see Filfla, the little island located 5 kilometres out at sea which is now a protected bird sanctuary.
