The Cave has been described by Ransonet and is located in Balun Bay
on the eastern part of the island of Biševo. It has been open to the public since 1884 when the external entrance was cut into the cave and through which the cave can be reached by means of a small rowing boat. When the sea is calm and the day is sunny, reflected sun rays pass through the undersea entrance to the cave and create a fascinating blueness, whilst an immersed object on the sea's surface adopts silverfish sheen.

In April 1812, the English commander of Vis, George Duncan Robertson,
began building a short and oblong fortress with sloping walls over the entrance to the port of Vis which was surrounded by a moat. It was named after the English king, George III, and as it was higher than other buildings nearby, the local people of Vis called it, and continue to call it "Fortica".

Looking from the sea side, Stiniva is enclosed by two high rocky cliffs
which, in their closest point, are just four metres from each other. Between them is a pebble beach but only after sailing through the 'gateway' does it open like a Roman amphitheatre auditorium paved with stones.

This is surely one of the most beautiful beaches on the Adriatic.
With extremely light and glistening sand which, under the strong sun, tends to overheat and with its always pleasantly rippled, western current of cool sea, Zaglav is that part of the island that regularly appears in your dreams.
