The day was dedicated to getting to know the city and making arrangements to visit one of the main attractions: the Blue Caves.

In its history it was from the Roman Empire and later the Byzantine Empire

Visits to islands near Split
The day dawned very beautiful and we will spend the day between the islands.
We took a boat and went to Bisevo Island, where the main attraction Blue Cave is located.
When we arrived there was a huge queue and we went to the other side of the island at Porat beach to wait our turn.
When our turn came, we went back and went to the Blue cave, which is a tiny entrance in the rocks.
The blue color is due to an opening at the bottom of the rocks where sunlight passes through, turning everything blue.
Our next stop is Mlini beach, with stunning translucent turquoise waters, stony seabed and pristine white pebble beach.
We stopped in the middle where we swam with the little fish.

Island of hvar
The third stop is the island of Hvar:
One of the largest islands in Croatia and home to several attractions, in addition, it is a destination with several beaches and is very popular for parties and ballads that only end with the dawn.
We went to visit the little town, had lunch and then enjoyed the beaches.
Tomorrow we go to our main objective in Croatia: Dubrovnik.
