Vis - Split

Vis is the most isolated inhabited island of the Middle Dalmatia; it is approximately 50 km away from the mainland. That kind of isolation made Vis a very special place, many will say, a place tailored to men. The simplicity of life reflects in every sphere of the island’s reality, unspoiled by the tourist commercialization. You will be greeted with genuine, sincere hospitality upon your arrival and have the chance to enjoy the true beauty of the island’s everyday life, nature and people in all its simple loveliness.

Vis has been blessed with unseen natural beauties, practically perfect climate and the richness of natural resources. Its well-indented coast offers a variety of amazing beaches, surrounded by the impeccably clear open sea. Some of the beaches are incorporated in the existing settlements, and some are reachable only by boat. There is a number of sand-covered beaches perfect for children, beautiful pebbly beaches protected by the natural shade of the pine trees and rocky coves shielded by the steep cliffs; the choices are practically endless.

Numerous sources of fresh drinking water are ensuring the continuing development of the island’s agriculture. Fertile fields are scattered all across the inland area; rich vineyards overlooking the olive plantations. There practically isn't a fruit or vegetable that can’t be grown on the island of Vis. Vis is among the richest fishing areas on the Adriatic Sea. The local fish markets are proud of their daily offer of fresh fish and seafood, known to be the best in Dalmatia.
