Rocky caves with dark blue sea water, accessible by boat only!
A magic location on the north-western part of Zakynthos island with unique dark blue sea water that comes in contrast with the light blue green colour of the area. Especially during the early morning hours the rocks, the bottom of the sea, the caves themselves are " painted" dark blue due to the soft play of the sunlight on the water. The Blue Caves is the ideal location to take pictures and are accessible only by boat.
