Pisina, also known as the Blue Lagoon, fully lives up to its name (“pool”): the water is so calm and clear that boats seem to float above the seabed. It lies on the uninhabited islets opposite Sivota and can only be reached by boat.
What to expect
White sand and pebbles, turquoise water and lush greenery all around. The rocks give natural shade at midday, so direct sun on the beach itself is limited. The seabed is full of fish — one of the best snorkelling spots in the area.
- Facilities: none — bring water and whatever you need.
- Access: by rented boat, with a skipper or on an organised boat trip from Sivota harbour.
- Snorkelling: excellent, with lots of fish.
Tips
- Go before 11:00. After that the excursion boats arrive and it gets crowded.
- Anchor away from swimmers and respect the natural environment.
- Combine Pisina with Bella Vraka and the other islets on the same trip.
