A Trip to the Blue Lagoon and Blue Caves of Paxos & Antipaxos: Dive into Paradise

If you are looking for the ultimate summer destination, where blue meets green and swimming feels like a pool experience, then a trip to the Blue Caves of Paxos and Antipaxos is just what you need. These two small but miraculous Ionian islands hide some of the most impressive natural landscapes in Greece. At the top of the list are the famous Blue Caves and the magical Blue Lagoon beach, also known as Voutoumi.

The Blue Caves of Paxos: A Hidden World Awaits 

On the western side of Paxos, nature has sculpted a network of sea caves that leave every visitor speechless. The Blue Caves are the result of the incessant erosion of the rock by the waves, creating an impressive geological formation.
The most fascinating thing is the color of the water. As sunlight enters through the openings, it reflects off the white seabed and paints the water with an incredible palette of blue and turquoise shades. The largest and most famous cave is Hypnagogos, where you can enter by boat and admire this natural phenomenon up close. A dive into the caves is an unforgettable experience that makes you feel like you are swimming in a crystal clear pool.

It is a unique feeling, as if you are in a huge, natural pool with waters that literally invite you to dive into them. The beach is surrounded by lush vegetation, creating an idyllic setting for relaxation and sunbathing
