Plump piglets are seen swimming through the clear seawater.
It is a scene that looks like something out of a fairy tale.
This footage was captured on Atokos, a small uninhabited island in the Ionian Sea, Greece.
The island, where almost no people live, is instead home to a herd of black pigs.
On hot days, they head into the sea to enjoy a swim, and they have become a local attraction as they do not seem particularly wary even when tourists approach them.
As this unique scene has spread through social media, interest from travelers around the world is growing.
The island, which can only be reached by boat, is reportedly seeing a steady stream of tourists hoping to see the "swimming pigs" in person.
