Što Raditi/What To Do

The Wedding Website of Norika Zehnder and Noah Youkilis
Vis is one of Croatia’s most enchanting islands, preserved for decades as a military base and untouched by mass tourism. Its two main towns, Vis and Komiža, charm with stone streets, seaside cafés, and colorful harbors, while the island’s natural beauty stuns—Stiniva Beach’s cliff-enclosed cove, the glowing Blue Cave on Biševo, and family-run wineries like Lipanović are just a few highlights. History lovers can explore abandoned military tunnels and the dramatic submarine base carved into the cliffs. Vis even doubled as the dreamy Greek setting for Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, though in real life it feels even more magical. Quiet, authentic, and full of breathtaking scenery, Vis is an island like no other and we can’t wait to share it with you.

Modra špilja (Blue Cave)

Biševo Island, Croatia

One of Croatia’s most famous natural wonders, the Blue Cave is a must-see while on Vis. Hop on a boat tour from Vis or Komiža and head to nearby Biševo Island, where you’ll slip into a small sea grotto glowing with surreal, electric-blue light. It’s a quick adventure, but an unforgettable one. Perfect for anyone looking to add a little magic to their time on the island.

Stiniva Beach

Stiniva Beach

Vis, Croatia

Tucked between towering cliffs, Stiniva Beach is one of Europe’s most breathtaking hidden coves. You can reach it by taking a short but steep hike down the hillside, or opt for arriving on a boat. Once you’re there, you’ll find crystal-clear water, dramatic rock formations, and a tiny pebble beach that feels like a secret. It’s the kind of spot that makes you wonder how it’s even real.

JNA Submarine Base

JNA Submarine Base

Vis, Croatia

One of Vis’s most unique sights is its former Yugoslav National Army submarine base—an impressive, carved-into-the-cliff tunnel that once sheltered military submarines. Today, it’s a fascinating (and slightly dramatic) spot to explore, offering a peek into the island’s strategic past.

Mount Hum & Tito's Caves

Mount Hum & Tito's Caves

Vis, Croatia

There are beautiful coastal and hillside trails all over Vis, including hikes up Mount Hum—the highest point on the island and home to some of its most spectacular views. The climb is manageable and rewarding, with sweeping panoramas of Vis, Komiža, and the sparkling Adriatic waiting at the top. Along the way, you can detour to Tito’s Caves, a historic hideout used during World War II, tucked right into the mountainside. Whether you’re in it for the scenery or the history, a Mount Hum hike is one of the island’s most memorable adventures.

Mamma Mia Film Locations

Mamma Mia Film Locations

Vis, Croatia

If parts of Vis feel strangely familiar, it’s because the island doubled as the dreamy Greek setting in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. Wander through Komiža’s waterfront, explore the cove where the beach scenes were filmed, or take a boat to the spots featured in the movie’s musical numbers. Even without ABBA playing in the background, the turquoise water, dramatic cliffs, and sun-soaked villages make it easy to see why Hollywood fell in love with this place. Whether you’re a superfan or just in it for the scenery, Vis is full of “here we go again” views worth exploring.

Vis Town & Komiza

Vis Town & Komiza

Vis, Croatia

Vis Town is the island’s relaxed, elegant hub—full of waterfront cafés, stone-paved streets, and easy seaside strolls. It’s the perfect place to wander, sip a coffee, browse little boutiques, and soak up the island’s slow, sunlit rhythm. On the opposite side of the island, Komiža feels like a postcard come to life: colorful boats bobbing in the harbor, cozy restaurants right by the water, and charming narrow lanes to explore. It’s laid-back, welcoming, and impossibly pretty at every turn.

Lipanovic Winery

Lipanovic Winery

Vis, Croatia

Tucked away on Vis, Lipanović Winery is a cozy, family-run gem where you can taste the island’s flavors in a glass. Whether you’re sampling their crisp whites or rich reds, the warm hospitality and laid-back charm make each sip feel like an invitation to stay a little longer. It’s a perfect stop for a relaxing afternoon or a spirited evening with friends.

Other Nearby Islands

Other Nearby Islands

Dalmatia, Croatia

Croatia has more than 1,000 islands. If you have time (or PTO) to spare before or after the wedding, we highly recommend exploring some of the other islands in the area. Highlights include Hvar (the lavender isle and our backup choice), Korčula (the home of Marco Polo), and the Kornati islands and Lastovo (both national parks with much to offer). Feel free to reach out for more detailed recommendations.
