Whether you’re a swimming enthusiast, you want to enjoy the sun on the beach, or simply capture some vibrant snapshots for Instagram, there’s nothing more beautiful than a coastline bathed in dazzling azure waters.

And now you can find out exactly where the bluest waters in the world are, thanks to a new ranking presented by the luxury villa rental company CV Villas.

To compile the ranking, researchers compiled a long list of the most popular and beautiful beaches in the world.

Then, a color analysis followed, which involved capturing unprocessed images of the beaches from Google Maps, using a tool to determine the exact shade of the water and cross-referencing this shade with the one officially considered the bluest shade of blue.

Antisamos Beach in Kefalonia is at the 18th position, and the small but charming Dafnoudi Beach, also in Kefalonia, is at the 23rd position in the global ranking of blue waters.
