The Blue Cave is sometimes canceled due to weather or sea conditions, so check on the day. The parking lots at each spot fill up easily, so early morning is best. Booking marine activities in advance is recommended.

A Quick Tip

If you plan to go in the sea, bringing a towel, a change of clothes and shoes that can get wet keeps the whole day comfortable.
