Cape Skinari, NorthBest by Cars
Blue Caves
Carved into the northern tip of the island, the Blue Caves are arches and grottoes where sunlight reflects off the seabed to turn the water a vivid, glowing blue.
Small boats from Cape Skinari and Agios Nikolaos weave through the arches and let you swim in the surreal blue water. Pair it with the nearby Navagio viewpoint for an unbeatable north-coast day out.
Highlights
- Swim inside glowing blue sea caves
- Small-boat tours from Cape Skinari
- Often combined with Shipwreck Beach
- Calmest water and best colour in the morning
Local tip
The earliest boats get the clearest, most vivid blue before the wind picks up.
