An awesome experience, in an unreal location. Definitely worth the hike. The water is so blue that it is almost glowing, magical. There is a restaurant and someone at the bottom selling cold beers and drinks. Oh and of course I had to jump from the top too ;)

The one-hour mountain hike is extremely tiring, and reaching Teth village and then taking the bus to Blue Eye is expensive. The village isn't as it appears on social media. It's full of hotels and bungalows. There are only a few old buildings; the church is a beautiful, aesthetically pleasing structure, I liked it. It's in a fantastic location nestled among the mountains, offering great views. The Blue Eye water is extremely cold.
