Wied iz-Zurrieq and the Blue Grotto

Looking like a miniature fiord, this narrow arm of the sea is an anchorage for boats in calm weather; at the first sign of a storm the boats are winched up a steep slipway and landed.
The boats at Wied iz-Zurriea were, and still are, used for fishing; now, however, the fishermen are finding out that it is more lucrative to take visitors to the nearby Blue Grotto.

The fishermen of the village of Wied iz-Zurrieq organize trips to admire the fascinating Blue Grotto.
