Natural Wonders

Central Dalmatia’s landscape is defined by dramatic karst formations and deep blue waters. This collection spans the 1,762-meter summit of Sveti Jure and the coastal cliffs of Biokovo to the subterranean depths of Vranjača and the Dragon's Cave. Near Imotski, the Blue and Red Lakes occupy massive sinkholes, while the island of Biševo hosts the iridescent Blue Cave, accessible only by boat. On Brač, Vidova gora offers the highest vantage point across the Adriatic islands.
