About Blue Caves
The Blue Caves of Zakynthos, sea caves and rock arches carved into the white cliffs around Cape Skinari at the northern tip of the island, where the water glows a bright blue, reached by small boats.
The caves lie on the coast between Agios Nikolaos and Cape Skinari, the northern tip of the island. Wind and waves carved them into the pale limestone, and sunlight reflected from the walls gives the water its colour.
The caves are seen from the sea only, on small boats from Agios Nikolaos or Cape Skinari. Trips depend on the wind and the sea. Some tours let swimmers pass through the arches.
