The most remote island among the inhabited Adriatic islands. The largest settlements are the cities of Vis and Komiža. The history of the Vis island, just like that of other Dalmatian islands, is very old. A small ancient town abounds with stories of hostilities taking place over centuries, as well as architectural constructions of Roman theaters, churches, and palaces of the 16th-18th centuries. Komiža, the town of fishermen, has a museum of fishing, located in the ancient fortress tower and many seafood restaurants. Near it, the small island of Biševo features the Blue Cave (Modra špilja), in which the effect of light refraction in the water makes all people and subjects seem to be flooded with blue light.
Best berths for boats:
