We explore the incredible island of Vis, Croatia. Vis is in the Adriatic Sea, not far from Hvar Island. We stay in Vis town and explore the two sides of the town, Kut and Luka. We also rent bikes and head to the Grandovac beach where we go swimming, afterwards we grab some ice cream. In the evening we visit a restaurant called Lola where we have some fantastic local white wine and a delicious dinner.

The town of Vis:
The town of Vis is located in the north-eastern part of the island Vis in the bottom of a well protected bay. It developed from the former settlements Kut and Luka, which became one entity in the 16th century by the building of the church Gospa od Spilica. The villages from the eastern side of the island such as: Zenka, Milna, Bargujac, Podstražje, Podselje, Plisko Polje and Marine Zemlje gravitate to the town. Since the World War II the whole island had been a military area. The tourism on Vis began to develop significantly with the demilitarisation of the island at the beginning of the war (1991-1995) in Croatia. So, it has been only 15 years ago that both the island and its town opened for the visit of tourists. The remains of the military objects in the northwest and northeast part of the Bay of Vis are the witnesses of the stay of the Yugoslav Army.
During the last hundred years a part of the population emigrated in the search for better living conditions. There are only about 2000 people living in the town of Vis, and around 3500 on the whole island.Many visitors, and especially the yachtsmen, are coming more and more to Vis. In every moment you can see changes in life-style, but at the same time Vis has kept the old, irresistible Mediterranean charm and life without stress and trouble.The fortresses and the stony piles testify to the thousand-year-old settlement on Vis, and the remains of a theatre built into the foundations of the Franciscan monastery on the peninsula Prirovo, antique therms or the Hellenistic cemetery, confirm that Vis is one of the oldest urban centres in Croatia.
Places featured:
Grandovac Beach:
Grandovac is the closest beach to the village of Kut. It is an easy twenty minute walk on a flat path that takes you along the waterfront, past some of the old stone homes in the village and then past newer homes that have been built since the island allowed people to return. Towards the end of the walk, you will see the old abandoned Czech Villa, once a glorious building but now completely ruined inside. Don’t forget to look at the street art on the abandoned building on the right just before the villa.
Lola Restaurant:
Named after their daughter, this restaurant combines the personal touch (ingredients home-grown by the chef’s parents, individual furnishings handpicked by the couple from around Europe) with very well executed dishes. Everything about this restaurant has been done with consideration and love, and as a result within the first week of opening, customers who discovered Lola quickly got addicted and made return trips, such that Lola’s first Saturday night was already spilling with customers.

The Croatian islands was another dream of mine for many years, and it came true on exactly 3 months of life on the road. Fortunately I had heard of Vis island the day before I set off and picked the small town of Komiza to lay low and simply relax. After a 3 hour ferry ride from Split, I arrived in Vis town to catch a bus across to Komiza, a personal favorite of mine in all of Croatia. The town is small, quaint, and not full of tourists, the perfect place to relax and do nothing. My Airbnb was the most memorable, as it was on the third floor of and old building, with a window that opened out to the sea.
My next island was the town of Hvar on Hvar island. I personally wasn't too crazy about this town as it was really crowded with tourism. I stayed overnight in a cheap hostel in town, But because I'm so far from home, I did my best to appreciate it. In the morning before departure, I walked outside of town for a nice swim at a nearby beach.
My next island is the island of Korcula. After spending about an hour walking around Vela Luka, I made my way over to Korcula town, another personal favorite of mine. Korcula is an old fortified town that juts out into the sea with the backdrop of the Peljesac peninsula. This once Venetian city is said to be the birthplace of Marco Polo. With Summer officially in full gear, I took advantage of kayaking around Korcula and the nearby islets delivering amazing views and nice alone beach time.
On my final day concluding my second but not final voyage in Croatia, I took the ferry to Orebic on Peljesac, hitchhiked twice to Trpanj, caught a ferry to Ploce, and finally caught a ride to Mostar straight from the ferry.
I love Croatia!!!!

The BEST WAY to get to VIS Island.

------------------
It turns out to be a challenge to get from Hvar to Vis island. Vis is one of the most mysterious islands in Croatia, and as such, its is one of the most visited islands. Vis was for long a military base for the Yugoslav army until 1989. During those years, visiting Vis was highly restricted for the locals and impossible for visitors. For this reason, Vis has been abandoned and preserved as no other island in Croatia.
As it happens across Mediterranean islands, Vic’s lack of development is one of its greatest assets for tourism. If you want authenticity, nature, peace and adventures, as well as good food, Vis is quite the place to go.
---------------------
Top thing to do in Vis:
Stiniva Cove
Its natural unusual appearance makes it one of the best places in Vis. The small entrance (4-5 meters) all of the sudden becomes a wide and beautiful seaside cove.
Once inside, you will find a very nice and welcoming bar to treat yourself a cold beverage or a good snack. It is always recommended to visit the cove during the morning hours.
Srebrna Bay
A gorgeous pebble beach with unusual large pebbles, located close to Rukavac, a small village.
It is not very well known for much of the touristic guides around the area, which mean is the perfect place to find a quiet place away from the buzz of tourists.
Mount Hum
This mountain is one of the best locations if what you care about is sightseeing. Indeed, it is the highest elevation of Vis with 587 metres.
Be sure to visit it during the day if you want to have a 360 degree of the island and the beautiful blue sea.
The Green Cave
Located on the south side of Vis, this amazing natural wonder full of reflections, clear sea and mystery is one of the places you should not miss whilst in Vis.
The cave is called green as the reflection caused by the sea floor and natural light results in an abundance of green algae located at the rocky base of the cave’s entrance. What is best, you can actually swim inside! If you are looking for some adrenaline boost, don’t forget you can also dive and explore around.

VIS. Croatia's Hidden Island.
Vis is one of the furthest islands from the Croatian mainland and therefore a bit harder to reach which makes it quiant and quiet. We spend the day exploring the town of Vis and then rent bikes and take them to the beach on the very edge of town.

Vis has fabulous beaches
Vis has some of the best beaches in Croatia. The southern coast is dotted with beautiful bays and secluded coves. Most of the beaches are stone beaches but there are a few sand beaches on the island. Stoncica, Stiniva and Srebena are favourites. Granvalac which is in walking distance from Kut, is another. There will be more on these beaches next week. Read more about these fabulous beaches at 4 of the Best Beaches on Vis
Vis has great food and wine
It was not an easy time for the people on Vis during the years the island was closed. Many left to seek fame and fortune. Those who remained were were either fisherman or involved in agriculture. Today these industries are flourishing and as a result there are some interesting wines and great food available.
It is the furthest island in the Adriatic from the Croatian coast hidden behind the islands of Hvar, Brac and Solta.
For many years it was the military and naval headquarters of Tito’s partisan army and was closed to the public until 1989. This meant that it escaped large commercial development and was able to retain its natural beauty. The architecture on the island dates back to the early days of Venetians rule. Beautiful old stone buildings, made from stone from the nearby island of Brac, line narrow streets and alleyways in Vis and Komiza.

Stiniva Beach, Island Vis (Croatia) - Best beach in Europe | Plaža Stiniva
Stiniva beach is located on the island of Vis in southern Croatia. It is a beautiful hidden beach on the southern part of the island. This beach is about 35 meters long with small pebbles and perfectly clear sea. This breathtaking bay can be reached by boat or on foot. here are several trips organized from the town of Vis, but if you want to emerge yourself in this beautiful nature that offers the island we advise you to go on foot taking the narrow steep path that goes from the hamlet Žužeca. It will take about 15 minutes to reach the bay and the beach. Or you can rent a boat in the town of Vis and visit this beach.
Stiniva je jedna od najpoznatijh i najljepših viških uvala (plaža) i zakonom zaštićeni spomenik prirode. Vjerojatno u prošlosti nastala urušavanjem svoda špilje. U uvali se nalazi ugostiteljski objekt, a do nje je moguće doći brodicom ili pješice, vrlo strmom kozjom stazom koja se spušta od mjesta Žužeca u kojem je moguće ostaviti automobil.
U izboru čitatelja renomiranog portala „European Best Destinations, plaža Stiniva na otoku Visu proglašena je najljepšom europskom plažom!
