What people say

"Vis Island, situated in the Central Dalmatian Archipelago, is one of Croatia's most captivating and remote islands, known for its pristine natural beauty and rich historical heritage. Positioned further from the mainland compared to other Dalmatian islands, Vis offers a unique blend of secluded beaches, dramatic cliffs, and lush landscapes. The island's coastline features stunning coves and crystal-clear waters, with notable spots like the Blue Cave on the nearby islet of Biševo, renowned for its mesmerizing, luminous blue light. Vis Town, with its charming stone streets and historical architecture, reflects the island's long maritime history and cultural influences. Additionally, the island is famous for its well-preserved ancient ruins, including remnants from Roman times and its role as a naval base during the Yugoslav era. Vis’s relatively untouched environment, combined with its historical depth and serene ambiance, makes it a perfect destination for those seeking both relaxation and exploration away from the more tourist-heavy spots in Croatia."
"Located about an hour and a half directly off the coast of Split, it makes for a perfect few day getaway for beautiful coastal views and utter relaxation. "

"Another stop on the boat tour from Split, you will find the filming location of Mamma Mia 2. This scenic town deserves its own 1/2 day."
