The Blue Grotto is an immense cave adorned with deep blue waters inside from which it takes its name. A truly magnificent sight to be seen, and a "must" on the list of things to do while in Malta. Also visit Limestone Heritage - a disused quarry in the old village of Siggiewi.
Be met at your hotel and escorted to the coach for a drive to the fishing village of Wied Iz- Zurrieq - a quaint fishing village nestled within high imposing cliffs. A natural shelter for the local fishing boats.
From here an optional 30 minute boat trip (fare not included) can be taken to reveal the splendors of the impressive Blue Grotto - a cathedral in stone, with nature as its architect. The Blue Grotto is famous for its crystal clear water with beautiful colors passing through it going from light blue to deep blue then green and even red.
The second part of you tour takes you to the Limestone Heritage - a disused quarry in the old village of Siggiewi turned into one of the most interesting and educational heritage trails in Malta. This unique attraction explains how Malta's history is written in stone from the early prehistoric times till today; the terminology and building techniques mostly unique to this island.
