The far flung island of Vis spent the second half of the 20th century closed off to the public. It was an important military base, and while today it holds its own submarine base, military tunnels and many bunkers, the rest of the island remains pretty much intact. It has two main seaside towns: Vis, the home of the first regatta in the world, and Komiža, where today majority of locals survive on fishing and not tourism. Once you have enjoyed the traditions and history of Vis, check out the natural beauties on neighboring islands, the Green Cave and the Blue Cave, each featuring a unique light phenomenon. A perfect blend of land and sea!
