Early in the morning we will set sail to the island of Vis. En route, we will make a stop on Biševo Island to see a stunning natural phenomenon—the Blue Cave.

At times, high waves prevent the entrance to Blue Cave, which is something we will not know until the morning before our visit. Later, we will continue our journey to Vis. Due to its strategic location on the open sea, Vis served as a military zone for a long time and was consequently spared of the usual tourist development.
