Traditional peka (meat slow-cooked in a ceramic container) restaurant set in a gorgeous vineyard. You need to book at least 24 hours in advance. The restaurant will provide transportation to and from town.
For a special slow-food meal bordering on performance, Senko Karuza - the local poet, philosopher, and chef - will cook up seafood meals at his house, perched over Mala Travna bay. The meals take a while to prepare but you can swim while you wait. Just make sure to call ahead to see if he's in the mood to have you over.
Beautiful lunch spot set on some craggy rocks overlooking a stunning bay. Have a swim before lunch and then enjoy some fresh fish. Whilst the food is delicious, the service can be a little slow - you've been warned!
Lovely rustic restaurant inland, by the base of Mount Hum
The local dive bar! Located near the ferry this is probably the only late-night bar on the Island
This beach is formed of a collapsed cave and offers a beautiful swimming spot - though it can get busy later on in the day. Also, please note that if getting there (without a boat), visiting this beach requires a long and sometimes treacherous walk down the mountainside that demands grippy shoes.
A popular beach near the town of Rukavac. Choose your path carefully - if you take a left at the sign, you'll end up at Bilbok, the nudist beach. To the right and you'll end up at Srebrena - a beautiful stone beach on which to read and sunbathe. Rock shoes recommended.
Diamond beach is a beautiful pebble beach located in a cove with a bar and restaurant that has lounge chairs, cocktails, and good music. Food isn't much to write home about, so better to stick with the drinks and have lunch at nearby Dalmatino. The local white wine, Vugava, comes highly recommended.
Set at 587m above sea level, Mount Hum is the highest peak on Vis and close to an abandoned military compound. It is worth a visit, especially for the views at sunset, offering a birdseye view of Komiza and a tiny chapel.
The blue cave is located on the near island of Bisevo. Accessible by boat from vis, tour operators will take you there to explore the cave's unique natural lighting. We would recommend combining your visit with a day/half-day boat excursion to check out other parts of the coastline that can't be accessed by car or foot.
Vis Island holds many historic secrets, from the time of Diomedes, Platon and Issa to Vis marked by English presence on the Adriatic sea, at the times of being part of Francis Josephs's empire, to becoming the base of commands of Tito and resistance partisans. Fortresses, military subways and labyrinths of tunnels. Military tunnels were dug throughout the island after 1945 when the island was a major military base for Yugoslav army. There are over 30 different military objects scattered across the island: One of the most interesting is the missile base at Stupišće point near Komiža. It was a huge base for land-sea missiles with impressive tunnel and bunker complex to be on alert in case of invasion.
