Bring small cash for grotto entry
The Blue Grotto requires an entrance fee payable locally in cash and small boats charge per person to enter; have €10–€20 ready.
Sun protection is non-negotiable
The sun reflects off open water—use reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, and polarized sunglasses to reduce glare and sunburn risk.
Pack swim and snorkel gear
Bring a swimsuit and quick-dry towel; on-boat snorkel masks make short stops more rewarding when the water is clear.
Watch the weather and sea state
Tours can be cancelled in rough seas; if you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication before boarding and sit mid-boat for less movement.
