Worth it?
Time it right and the payoff is the glow: the blue light in the water is strongest around midday, when sunlight refracts through the cave. This is a boat trip rather than a walk, since the cave on the Karaburun peninsula is accessible only by boat, inside the Karaburun-Sazan National Marine Park. It suits swimmers and snorkelers on the Albanian Riviera. Expect a moderate cost for the boat.
Before you go
- Book a boat that reaches the cave around midday for the best light.
- Bring swimwear and a mask; the cave is good for swimming and snorkeling.
- Creators post it as a stop on an Albanian Riviera summer trip.
