The cave itself is 24 meters long, 10–12 meters deep and up to 15 meters high, while the entrance to it measures 1.5 meters high and 2.5 meters wide. This blue grotto has a natural entrance below the sea level. Also the way to enter the cave was originally by diving. The cave has two openings, a small, artificially deepened in 1884 , which can pass through the small boat. Depth is 3 to 20 m .
The natural entrance to the cave, located on its southern side, is said to resemble a vault on the ceiling of a grotto.
