Description

Špilja Biserujka (Biserujka Cave) is located above the bay of Slivanjska. The huge entrance was known for centuries and was the reason of local legends of smugglers, which used it as a hideout. According to a legend the smugglers hid a treasure in this cave, and so it was called Biserjuka. Biser is the croatian word for pearl.
