colour. This is due to the sunrays which penetrate through a hole under the
surFace and are reflected from the white bottom of the grotto, thus creating
incredibily beautiful light effects. At Komiža, is the Fishing Museum, and
visitors can also have a refreshment of good wine and fish specialitties. Guide
and entrance fees included.
