The fascinating cliffs running around the Old City led us to the famous cave, in which the deep blue waters lured us to dive in and explore the underwater world.
One kilometer (0.6 miles) separated us from a dreamy, tropical destination and complete tranquility. The journey around the Insel, getting to know its past, and the deposits of sedimentary rock, reminded us of how short and fleeting the human lifespan is. The high cliffs with their colorful green vegetation descended precipitously, deep into the sea, and in between them narrow layers of white pebbles could be glimpsed in the shadows of the rocks here and there.
We discovered these small, natural beaches from the sea, and they enticed us with their perfection. The entire Insel of Sveti Nikola is two kilometers (one mile) long, and the highest cliff on the Insel stands at 121 meters (397 feet).
The Insel was named for the Church of St. Nicholas, which dates back to at least the sixteenth century. Three large beaches with beach bars are popular, with many small beaches around the Insel only accessible from the sea. We decided to swim to one and found the combination of the dramatic rocks and the peculiar settlement surrounded with lush vegetation, as well as the crystalline, turquoise waters, unusually appealing, and we decided we wanted to return as soon as possible.
