Grotten

Exploring coastal caves is one of the most magical and incredible experiences you can have. It’s like stepping into a hidden world, full of natural wonders carved out by the sea over thousands of years. Imagine paddling or boating into a cavern, the walls towering above you, with beams of sunlight filtering through cracks, creating stunning reflections on the water.

These caves often have secret beaches or crystal-clear pools inside, giving you the feeling of being in a completely secret paradise. The journey to the caves is just as exciting as being inside—whether you’re kayaking along the coast or taking a boat ride, you get to enjoy beautiful coastal views, see incredible rock formations, and sometimes even spot dolphins or other marine life along the way.

Some of the caves are steeped in local legends, with stories of pirates hiding treasure or explorers finding refuge, which just adds to the sense of adventure. Personally, we think spring and summer are the best time to explore the caves. It’s very important that the water is calm, making it easier and safe to enter the cave openings. Sometimes, the weather on land seems fine, but the sea can be choppy.

We recommend booking cave tours in the beginning of your holiday so you can rebook if needed due to the sea conditions. Cave tours are the perfect moment for taking some unforgettable photos, so definitely bring a waterproof camera if you have one.

If you’re with family or friends, exploring these caves is a fantastic way to spend a day together—there’s something about being in these incredible natural formations that makes you feel like you’re on a real adventure. Whether you’re just there to admire the beauty or eager to learn about the geological wonders, exploring coastal caves is an experience that leaves a lasting impression.
