Since then the entrance to the cave was widened and it became accessible to the whole world. The cave has two openings; a smaller one made so that boats can pas through, while the other lies beneath the sea level and through which sunlight breaks and then reflects from the bottom of the cave creating silvery blue atmosphere.

Monk seal cave is another cave situated on Biševo island. The cave got its name after the Mediterranean monk seals who lived in these waters until the middle of the last century. Today those seals are among the most endangered mammals on the planet.
