Highlights

The Grotta Azzurra is already known for its breathtaking landscape above water, but it is also worth taking a look beneath the surface.

At 18 m, a huge rock rises in front of the cave, offering incredible diversity of flora and fauna to admire.

Schools of bream, gilt-head bream, moray eels, octopus, and small barracuda, all frolic around the rock. 

This site is perfect for beginners, especially for the first boat dive, as even at just 6 m, striped bream, sea bream and gilt-head bream are not uncommon.

The terrain slopes gently from 5 m down to the rock and is definitely an easy and exciting first underwater experience.
