Local fishermen, of course, has long been aware of the existence of the cave, but few people swam in it. It has acquired its fame, apparently, only in 1826 thanks to the description of the German painter and poet A. Kopisha. One of the special peculiarity of the cave is its "mysterious entrance." This input, a "window" in the coastal cliff, has a size of 2 x 2 m, with part of the "window" flooded by sea. The height of the actual passage of less than 1 m, and it is possible to get into the grotto only on a very flat and low boat. Even under low agitation, it is difficult to get to the cave. It has a natural erosive window that is created by waves in the rock that separates the sea from the grotto.
Directly under the "window", there is an employee entrance, it is another "window" of the boat and it is not directly visible, about 19 m in height. The two "windows" are separated only by a narrow rock bridge. The existence of it is due to the lower opening of the most attractive feature of the Grotta azzurra - its blue color.
Passing through the entrance, we get into the actual cave - a huge, filled with antique Blue temple length of 60 and a maximum width of 25 m ceiling is at a height of 7 - 14 m. Above the water surface, depth is at the entrance of 22 m, and the back wall 14 meters way. The total height of the grotto is over 35 m.
Apparently, they also have something to do with the outside world. Small playground near the walls of the cave are man-made, they are made in ancient times. Initially, the Blue Grotto was an ordinary karst cave created by groundwater when the sea level was located considerably below the present. The current shape of the cave is created by the ravages of the surf waves.
