Vis Walking Tour
Vis, Croatia
Why Walk Vis
Vis was closed to tourists until 1989 because Yugoslavia used it as a military base, preserving an authenticity that other Adriatic islands have lost. The island was originally colonized by Greeks from Syracuse in the 4th century BC, and ruins of their settlement, Issa, lie beneath the town of Vis. The Blue Cave on the nearby islet of Bisevo glows with an ethereal blue light, rivaling Capri. British and partisan forces used the island as a base during WWII, and Tito's cave headquarters can still be visited. Audio narration unlocks layers invisible to casual visitors.

Walking Tip
Ferries run from Split (2.5 hours) or catamaran (1.5 hours). Rent a scooter — the island has limited public transport but excellent roads. Blue Cave boats depart from Komiza and can be cancelled in rough seas.
Best Time to Visit
June through September for swimming and Blue Cave visits. May and October are quieter with pleasant weather. The island's restaurants serve some of the best seafood in Croatia.
