About this place
The Blue Grotto is a group of natural sea caves on the southern coast of Malta, near the village of Il-Qrendi. Boat trips run from the area and take visitors into the caves, where the interplay of light and water on the rock is a well-known feature of the site.
A boat tour into the caves is priced at eight euros. For those who prefer to stay on land, a fifteen-minute uphill walk leads to clifftop viewpoints from which the cave formations and surrounding coastline can be seen from above.
