Naida Caves
A maze of caves formed by quarrying outside the old city walls, with light streaming in through the openings above. It is one of Diu's most photogenic spots.
The Naida Caves lie just west of the old city walls, and are said to have been left behind when the Portuguese quarried stone to build the fort. The caves connect with one another and are open to the sky. Sunlight streams down through rock cracks and tree roots, creating layered shafts of light that make it a popular spot for photographers. Entry is free, and the caves are open during the daytime. The ground is uneven and some areas are dark, so wear non-slip shoes. Puddles may form after the rainy season. It is about a 5-minute walk from Zampa Gate.
