“We had a fun day with Pavle (I hope I am spelling that correctly) our boat captain! We learned so much about the history of the area. The submarine tunnels were amazing and creepy all at once! We found some great places to swim, my sons and I are strong swimmers so it was easy for us but my husband is not and got in and out quickly since he didn’t feel as confident in the current. Just one negative is It is quite a far ride to the blue cave but my sons (21,18&14) said it was one of their favorite tours we did on our trip to Europe.”

The spots we stopped were cool but it is a lot of time riding in the boat, so in November bring enough warm layers.”
