The Cave with the Underwater Opening - Modra Spilja

Modra Spilja (Blue cave) on the island of Bisevo, is one of the most favorite touristic spot!

The island called Bisevo is on the south - west of the island of Vis, placed in the south Dalmatian archipelago. The surface of the island is almost six square kilometers and it is five kilometers far from the Vis.

There are several caves on the island but the most famous one is Modra Spilja. The opening to the cave was made in 1884 and since then visitors can go into the cave by rowboats. It is very similar to the Italian Capri, but it is more beautiful and attractive. When the weather is sunny and the water smooth, sunlight goes through the undersea opening creating the fascinate blueness, and all objects plunged under the surface of the sea get silver radiance.

There are vineyards in the center of the island and pine trees and under bush on the north coast. Porat, Postrvo, Polje, Nevaja, Mezoporat and Salbunora are small settlements located there.

The island is easily reachable, by fast boats - hydrofoils, and a one-day tour will satisfy everyone!
