Blue Grotto, Sea cave on Bisevo island, Croatia

The cave stretches 24 meters deep and 36 meters long, featuring an underwater opening that creates luminous blue reflections on its white limestone walls.

Baron Ransonnet documented and promoted the cave in 1884, establishing its reputation as a natural wonder that rivals the Blue Grotto of Capri.

Croatian fishermen developed navigation techniques to enter the narrow cave entrance, passing their knowledge through generations of local maritime communities.

Access to the grotto requires small boat transportation from Komiza or Vis, with optimal viewing conditions occurring between 11 AM and noon.

The underwater entrance filters sunlight in a way that transforms swimmers and objects in the water into silvery shapes against the blue illuminated background.
