Vis

Vis is the furthest inhabited Croatian island from the mainland — 50 kilometres offshore — and was a closed Yugoslav naval base until 1989, which kept it free of large-scale development. The result: original stone fishing villages, untouched coast, and a slower pace than anywhere else in Dalmatia. Vis Town on the north coast and Komiža on the west are the two main harbours, both with classic Venetian-Dalmatian architecture. The neighbouring islet of Biševo holds the famous Blue Cave — a sea cave where midday sunlight refracts through an underwater opening, turning the chamber electric blue. Vis is 4 hours from Split by sail. Season runs May through October.
