Swim in Paradise – The Famous Blue Lagoon
The Blue Lagoon is one of the most iconic and breathtaking locations along the Ionian coast, located near Sivota. Known for its unbelievably clear turquoise waters and white sandy seabed, this small sheltered bay looks like a scene straight out of a tropical dream – and it’s one of the highlights of any boat trip in the region.
Nestled between lush green islets and rocky shores, the Blue Lagoon is only accessible by boat, which adds to its secluded and untouched charm. The shallow waters make it ideal for swimming, snorkeling, or simply floating and enjoying the serenity of the sea. Sunlight reflecting off the sandy bottom gives the water a vibrant, almost glowing blue color – hence its name.
According to local legend, the area was once used by pirates to hide their ships, thanks to its hidden position and protected waters. Today, it’s a peaceful paradise where visitors can connect with nature and enjoy the unique beauty of the Ionian coastline.
Whether you’re diving in from the boat, exploring nearby sea caves, or just relaxing on deck and soaking in the view, the Blue Lagoon offers a magical experience you’ll never forget.
