What’s So Cool About the Blue Eye?

The Blue Eye is like something out of a storybook. It’s a pool of water that’s so clear and blue, it looks like a giant eye staring up at the sky. The center is a dark blue color, like a pupil, and it’s surrounded by lighter blue and green colors, making it look just like an iris. This place is really special because you can see all the rocks and plants under the water, and it's surrounded by green forests.

Even though it's a bit hidden, there’s a path that takes you straight to the Blue Eye. And with new roads and places to grab a bite or shop popping up, it’s becoming easier for everyone to visit. But for now, it’s still a peaceful spot away from the crowds.

Enjoying the Blue Eye

At the Blue Eye, you can look into the water from a metal balcony. It’s so deep that nobody really knows how deep it goes. Some say it might be more than 50 meters deep! On hot summer days, the water stays cold, which is super refreshing if you’re brave enough to dip your toes in. But be warned, it’s really cold!

The best time to go

The Blue Eye is a popular spot in the summer, but it can get pretty busy. If you prefer a quieter visit, try going in the spring or fall. It’s just as beautiful, and there are fewer people around.
