The term "Blue Grotto" describes a group of marine caverns on Malta's south-east coast, which are not far from Wied iż-Żurrieq's fishing harbor boundaries. According to a 1910 court battle between the villages of Qrendi and Zurrieq over their respective authority, which was decided in favor of Qrendi, Wied iz-Zurrieq, the Blue Grotto, and nearby caverns are all situated inside the boundaries of Qrendi village as defined by the Local Council Act of 1993.On the opposite side of the tiny, uninhabited islet of Filfla, a bird sanctuary, lie the Wied iz-Zurrieq harbor and the Blue Grotto sea caverns.
Because of the caverns' location, the seawater reflects various shades of blue on the ceiling and walls.
While some caverns display a deep, dark shade of blue, others also reflect the vivid phosphorescent colors of the underwater vegetation and animals
Diverse hues of red, mauve, green, orange, and yellow provide tourists with a spectacular underwater view.Boat cruises to the Blue Grotto are available year-round, weather permitting, and the caves are a popular tourist site in Malta.
In addition to rock climbing, the most popular sports here are snorkeling along the shoreline and scuba diving on the adjacent wreck Um El Faroud.
Filmmakers have used the location numerous times for both big-screen and television projects, including Hell Boats, The Amazing Race's 25th season, Cadbury Milk Tray chocolate advertisements, and the Rai 2 travel show Sereno Variabile, in addition to smaller commissions and picture shoots.
