Blue grotto, Cave entrance in Luštica Peninsula, Montenegro
The cave features two openings, with the larger entrance measuring 3 meters in height and 15 meters in width, allowing boats to enter.
Through centuries, local fishermen utilized this natural formation as a shelter during storms and adverse weather conditions along the Adriatic coast.
The cave holds regional significance with tales of hidden pirate treasures from the 18th century naval activities in the Mediterranean waters.
Visitors can access the cave through guided boat tours departing from Herceg Novi, located 6 nautical miles from the entrance.
The cave's underwater opening creates a natural light phenomenon that illuminates the interior water with intense blue reflections.
