View of Zanjic and Miriste The Lustica peninsular hides an amazing number of surprises. Olive trees many hundreds of years old, old stone houses and untouched village communities fenced round with stone walls, beaches, islands, castles, stories of famous sea captains and pirates, the clearest sea, rare types of animals such as mongoose and jackal ...

Olive groves in Lustica Plava spilja (Blue Grotto) is one more of many surprise in this unique area. It is about 10 minutes away from the picnic spots of Zanjic & Miriste, and can only be reached by boat. Local taxi boats make several trips to the Blue Grotto every day. Everyone who has visited it has come back excited and full of stories. Some who have a heightened sense of the artistic describe swimming in the cave as "descent into the blue" because of the amazing combination of blue sea and the various shade of blue on the walls of the cave caused by the refraction of light. In last years report about the islands with the fortified church - the recently restored Vavedenje monastery in Mirista,
