Day 5 • VIS – BIŠEVO BLUE CAVE – HVAR 

Today is a cruise to Island Biševo with its Blue cave. The cave has its own natural entrance which is located below sea level, which required that it visitors dive deeply only to resurface into the cave’s mysterious blue depths. This natural phenomenon creates a magical effect of deep blue and shiny silver, mystifying her visitors. However, sometimes High Waves prevent the entrance to Blue Cave, which is something we shall not know before the morning designated for our visit, and this is a reason why entrance fees should be paid on the spot – if we have the luck to visit it! After swim stop and lunch, we will continue cruising towards the sunniest island of Croatia – the island of Hvar, along with the many coves and bays on the way. Hvar is one of the most popular, very attractive tourist destinations and a meeting point for the international jet set. Upon your afternoon arrival at Hvar, a local English-speaking guide will walk you throughout the town introducing you to the history, culture, and way of life on this island and explain how lavender was traditionally farmed on the Island of Hvar for centuries.

After lunch we will continue cruising towards Pučišča with refreshing swim stops on our way and lunch. Pučišča is the biggest village on the island of Brac an entirely different experience. Nowhere in the system of towns and villages in Damatia does terrain play such a compelling role as in Pučišča with its spectacular irregularity of the steep-sided natural harbour, its authentic Mediterranean architecture and rustic ambience; the fjord like inlet meets three narrow valleys that descend from the hills to join those quiet and beautiful waters. Pučišča Quarry was exploited in the Antiquity; the reopening of the quarry took place in 1455, unused since Roman times. It was from this quarry that stone was excavated to build limestone columns of the White House in Washington DC, The Parliament house in Vienna and many other famous buildings all over the world. The only Stonemasonry school in Croatia is located in Pučišča where students carve sculptures from Brac limestone with traditional and unconventional tools that have been used here for centuries.
