More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto the Riva at dawn, the harbor cooling the city’s heat while the harbor lights blink off and the Adriatic draws you forward. The speedboat slips away from Split’s stone quays; islands rise like low-slung ridgelines, and the sea dares you to keep up. Waves push the hull, and salt-sprayed wind writes a new itinerary across your sunglasses.

History
The Blue Cave on Biševo rose to international attention in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as visitors and photographers recorded its unique light effects; the region’s islands have long been tied to fishing and maritime trade.
Conservation
These islands sit on fragile marine ecosystems — stick to marked swim areas, use reef-safe products, and avoid anchoring on seagrass meadows.

Time your Blue Cave visit

Rougher open-water stretches can roll; take motion-sickness meds before boarding if you’re prone to nausea.

Some smaller konobas and beach vendors take cash only — bring euros or kuna for a fresh meal on Hvar or Vis.
