The grotto and neighbouring system of sea caves are home to brilliant phosphorescent marine life, as you enter the caves the clarity of the azure sea is simply amazing. The boat trip is optional (extra service).

The bay is not suitable for non-swimmers, however close by is a bar where non swimmers can sip a cool drink whilst enjoying the scenery.
