In a nutshell
Crystal-clear water, great beaches and beautiful villages
mircaskirca Says: Vis has many splendid beaches especially near Komiza. At the eastern part of Komiza there is a small bay with nice pebble beach named Kamenica. It's sheltered by trees which gives you the opportunity to hide from the strong sun. The beach has fresh water springs so it's...
Kastel - Home to the Fishing Museum
mircaskirca Says: Some finely-sculped 16th and 17th century Venetian-style houses line the delightful fishing harbour of Komiza. At the southern end, surmounted by an elegant clock tower, stands the 16th century Venetian fortress or Kastel, now home to the Fishing Museum (Ribarski muzej). A...
JASTOZERA: Lobster Is The King
KristaB Says: I heard so many appraisals about this restaurant. We had our dinner in another place, but somehow we got hungry when we returned to Komiza late in the evening, so inspired by those stories and a few promiles of intoxicating substance in our bloodstream, we decided to visit...
JASTOZERA: The King Is Dead - Long Live The Cook!
KristaB Says: We decided to try the simple pure dish, full taste of grilled lobster.It was served with four sauces, I was a bit skeptic about pink mayo-looking something, but all were really tasty. The lobster was cut into two halves and grilled first on the shell-side, probably with a...
Darko's: Don't miss the amazing food at Darko's
Lucypond Says: If you're staying on Vis Island, hire a scooter and go and visit Darko's in Zena Glava. The welcome you will receive is really warm and its a unique experience. Darko's food is 100% organic, there is no menu as Darko likes you to taste his food and because its organic can...
Club Aquarius: Party under the Stars
mircaskirca Says: Club Aquarius is located on Kamenica beach, on the eastern part of Komiza. It's a pleasant chill out day bar, offering cold and hot drinks, grilled fish and meat, authentic island cocktails, ice cream, beach chairs and umbrellas, which later becomes night club. They have DJs...
mircaskirca Says: Vis is not the easiest destination to get to but the best places never are. There are a variety of options to arrive to the island. The most usual is to fly to Split. Several air companies (Ryanair, Easy Jat, Sky Europe, Wizzair, British Airways, Croatia Airlines) have...

ROKI'S: Local wines and spirits

mircaskirca Says: Because of its distance from the mainland, the waters surrounding Vis island are rich in fish, especially blue fish (sardine, mackerel and anchovy). Komiza bay is well-known for its wide selection of fish: the waters surrounding the island Jabuka are famous as one of the...

mircaskirca Says: Lemon is certainly the most typical fruit of Vis island. You see orchards almost everywhere and there are at least a couple of lemon trees in front of every house. The first thing that the friendly owners offered to me on arrival to the apartmant, was a basket of lemons from...
marktynernyc Says: A couple years ago I read about a hiker who left a footpath and stepped on a World War 2 land mine. While most of the footpaths are well defined by a path of rocks - there were a couple times when the footpath I was hiking disappeared - very nerve wracking to say the least....
elmoelmo Says: I used to go to the croatian islands over the past years & was very disappointed at how"artificial" the island has become. In search of tourist euros it has acquired an "disney world affect". It is very over priced; A dalmatian would never pay the prices they ask of...
mircaskirca Says: Okljucna cove is an abandoned fishing cove that belongs to the pretty, same named but also nearly abandoned hamlet, on a slope above the cove. It is situated on the norther side of the island and quite difficult of access. Going from Vis town toward Komiza you turn right...

mircaskirca Says: Have you ever experienced a night time swimming? Well, I have, and can tell you, it's fantastic!! Since my first time I do it quite often, I just love it! Especially when the air temperature is up to 40C by day and it drops only to 30C by night, as it happened in my case,...
mircaskirca Says: An excursion to Bisevo island and visiting of the famous Blue Cave is certainly "a must thing to do" while you are on Vis. So one evening I went to the main travel agency as I wanted to book for the next morning. To my great disappointment, they told me everything was booked...
mircaskirca Says: One of the real delights of Croatia's Dalmatian coast is its Klapa music. The world klapa translates as "a group of people" and traces its roots to choral singing. Klapa is a cappella music, occasionaly it is possible to add a gentle guitar and mandolin (instrument similar...
