Can you swim in the Blue Grotto Malta?

Yes, it is possible to swim in the Blue Grotto, but definitely only recommended outside the busy tourist times of the day, and only accessible by private boat or kayak. It would also be a much more pleasant experience if you plan your swim during the warmer summer months of June through to August!
