Blue Cave (Modra Spilja)

Blue Cave on the Bisevo island video

Blue cave is situated on the Bisevo island (5.8 sq. kilometres) about five kilometres south west from Vis island. The central part is fertile field while the rest of the island is covered with macchia or rocks. On the north of the island there is a dense pine forest. The settlements on the island are: Potok, Polje, Nevaja, Mezuporat and Salbunara.

There are a few caves on the island, out of which Modra Spilja (name in Croatian ) is the most famous. Around noon, when the sea is calm, sunbeams that penetrate through the submarine opening in the Cave, reflect from the white bottom floor and colour the cave in blue and objects in the water in silver. The cave is accessible since 1884, and approach is possible only by boat. The coastal sea belt is rich fishing area.

The island of Bisevo is famous excursion site: one-day excursions are organised from Komiza and Vis, but also from other islands in vicinity. First you visit the Blue Cave, then comes the swimming in one of the coves, and it is all followed by the exquisite fish lunch.

Blue Cave (Modra Spilja)

There are few mostly uninhabited small islands in the vicinity: Jabuka, Svetac, Palagruza. On the some of them there is only a light-house and some are used only for sheep pasture or fishing.

Getting to Bisevo
The easiest and cheapest way to get to Bisevo and to the famous Cave is to take one of the excursion boats that runs daily from Komiza in the summer. There are also agencies that run fast boat excursions from other islands like Hvar and Brac.

For a more private experience, hire a boat in Komiza and motor out yourself.

Jadrolinija, Croatian ferry company runs regular ferry connections from Split to Vis (island Vis) and from Split to Hvar and Vis with fast catamaran. The first one carries both cars and passengers, while the second one is only for passengers.
