Description
Start at Budikovac Island’s Blue Lagoon, accessible only by boat, where you can swim in clear turquoise waters and relax under the midday sun.
Next, visit Green Cave, a short boat ride away. Here, sunlight passes through an opening above, reflecting off algae and water to create a bright green illumination.
Then, travel to Stiniva Bay on Vis Island, a crescent-shaped cove formed by a collapsed cave. Shielded by prehistoric rocks, this bay has no road access and remains well-preserved.
The tour continues to the Blue Cave on Biševo Island. Around noon, sunlight penetrates an underwater opening, reflecting off the sandy seabed and turning the water a vivid blue.
Finally, relax with a drink or lunch in Palmižana Bay on Pakleni Island at a popular local bar or restaurant, rounding off your day.
