About Naida Caves
Naida Caves are a maze of tunnels, chambers and square-cut steps in the limestone just outside the old town wall of Diu. Local tradition says the Portuguese cut stone here to build Diu Fort. Sunlight falls through openings in the rock, which makes the caves popular with photographers.
