Where untouched landscapes meet local hospitality - Vis
Vis is quiet and charming Croatia charter destination. The visitors of Vis can see the rich remains of Issa the largest ancient Greek colony. Vis has heavenly untouched nature; amazing clear sea, sandy and pebble beaches. In addition numerous coves present true peace oasis. The island is also decorated with gorgeous Renaissance holiday homes of the then aristocracy and the churches they commissioned. More recent history display many military forts. Back then the island was off limits to foreigners which had an excellent effect on the preservation of the island’s nature.
Vis has a winning way of creating restaurants within the walls of ruined palazzo. We recommend you to try famous Viska pogaca. It is a flat cake with sardines. Wash it away with a glass of its most famous wine, Vugava, which is cultivated around the town of Podspilje. Despite its low-key vibe, Vis has enough sights, including an archaeological museum and churches, to avoid beach-centred boredom.
Make shore to visit famous beach Stiniva. In addition to Vis, do visit the islands surrounding it, as well as the popular island Bisevo. Besides Bisevo, visit other two islands, Jabuka and Brusnik. They are Croatia’s only volcanic islands. The great Blue Cave,one of the most unique natural phenomena in the world, will be a highlight of your holiday. The rays of sun that penetrate through the only crack into the cave are reflected in the sea, creating incredible light effects in the interior of the cave. Hence the sea appears to be in silver blue colour. You will find another natural phenomenon, near Vis – the Green Cave.
