Vis Island is peaceful, sophisticated and cultural, there are two main towns on Island of Vis and they are both located on the sea front, the towns are rich in history and date back to medieval times. This leads to some interesting accommodations and some incredible restaurants with heaps of ambiance. While on Vis tourists can look forward to relaxing on one of the many secluded beaches, bays or inlets and swimming in the clera blue sea under the hot sun of Vis.

They can sail through countless bays, to what is called the Blue Cave, the gem of the Adriatic, famous for its unique reflections of blue and silver that delight visitors from all over the world. The diving in the Vis sea basin is exciting because there are six sunken ships from different historic periods, including ancient vessels and fantastic World War II ships. You can be accompanied by experienced diving instructors, you can see the sunken ships and Blue cave and others amazing underwater caves..

Back on land, visitors can relax in individually appointed historic villas, apartments and hotel rooms. Activities here on land are just as exciting as on the sea. There are more than twenty restaurants, bistros and coffee bars with names like “Val”, “Dionis”, and “Katrina.” The fresh dishes served every night are incredible.
