Blue caves of Veneto - Kamari

A day trip to the enchanting blue caves of Veneto and the picturesque Kamari Pelion

Blue caves of Veneto - Kamari

On the northeastern coastline of Pelion, where the rocky shores sink into the deep waters of the Aegean Sea, a magical world unfolds that combines natural beauty and mythical energy. The Blue Caves of Veneto are a unique geological formation, accessible only from the sea, which impresses with its turquoise waters and the natural illuminations created by the sun's rays inside the caves. An exploration here is more like a journey into a transcendental, dreamlike world.

But the magic of the landscape is not only physical. According to Greek mythology, one of the most legendary marriages took place in these caves: that of the mortal king Peleus and the sea goddess Thetis, daughter of Nereus. The gods Zeus and Poseidon desired Thetis, but a prophecy predicted that her son would surpass his father in power - so they decided to marry her to a mortal. Peleus, guided by the wise Centaur Chiron, managed to capture her, despite her constant transformations, and marry her in Pelion. This marriage was not only world-historical, but also fateful: during the feast, the goddess Eris threw the famous "apple of discord", sparking the conflict between Hera, Athena and Aphrodite - the event that would lead to the Trojan War.

Today, visitors have the opportunity to relive the atmosphere of these mythical moments through an unforgettable sea excursion. By boat, you will approach the caves, enter them and swim in waters that once, according to legend, were home to gods and heroes. Natural sounds, reflections and a sense of isolation create a landscape ideal for relaxation, exploration and photography. If you're looking for more than just a tour - an experience that combines history, nature and fantasy - then the Blue Caves of Veneto await you.

Book your place now and come and experience the magic of Pelion, where legend meets the Aegean Sea.

Frequently asked questions

Are pets allowed on the tour?

Pets are allowed on the tour as long as they are under your supervision at all times and you ensure that they do not cause problems for the boat and other excursionists. 

There is no charge for pets.

Pet food is not provided (except for water). You will have to take care of this yourself.

Early return to the port due to illness or pet problems does not constitute a refund of the amount of the reservation.

What happens in case of bad weather

Usually there is always a forecast for bad weather.

If the weather is not good from the beginning, the excursion does not take place and there is no charge. If the weather changes during the tour it may be necessary to bring forward the return time. In this case the charge is normally applicable. However, it may be changed with the agreement of Seantesy Aegean Boat Tours.

In the rare case that there is an extreme weather change and it is not possible to return to the port of Agiokampos Larissa then for safety reasons the boat will approach the nearest safety port. If possible, Seantesy Aegean Boat Tours will arrange for the return of the excursionists to the departure point by private means of transportation free of charge and only if the specific port is directly accessible by private car. Otherwise, the excursionists will have to stay at the safety port (at their own expense) until it is deemed safe to return by boat.
