Discover Biševo – The Magical Blue Cave of Croatia
Biševo is a small Adriatic island located near Vis, best known for one of Croatia's most spectacular natural attractions: the famous Blue Cave (Modra špilja).
Situated in Balun Bay on the eastern side of the island, the Blue Cave attracts visitors with its extraordinary natural lighting effect, which transforms the cave's interior into a beautiful world of shimmering blue reflections.
The cave was opened to visitors in 1884, when an artificial entrance was created to allow access by small boats.

A visit to Biševo's Blue Cave is a memorable experience on selected small-ship cruises exploring Croatia's Dalmatian islands.
Depending on your chosen itinerary, your cruise may include destinations such as Vis, Hvar, Korčula, Split and Dubrovnik.
