Vis is a remote island shaped like an arrowhead with some of the best beaches in all of Croatia. Besides its closeness to the open sea and its breathtaking bays and coves, Vis is known since ancient times for its important role in nautical trading and amazing wines. The local white wine made from Vugava grapes and the red wine made from Plac grapes is still run by generations of the same families. Around the 4th century BC, Dionysus, the ruler of the Greek town of Syracuse named the island Issa after colonizing it, and around the 10th century, it became part of the Venetian Republic. Vis came under the rule of Napoleon in 1805, followed by British control 5 years later, when they constructed an important nautical trading port in central Dalmatia. Arriving at Vis, you will come across the main town of the island on the northeast side, also the most inhabited part, where numerous cafés and bars line up the waterfront. Once you have walked through the town and sampled the traditional Croatian specialties, you can head to the harbor, where all the sailing boats and yachts are nestled together. A boat tour in Vis will allow you to enjoy a calm adventure and is convenient for those who look for peace and isolation.

With your boat rental in Vis, you can visit Komiza, Bisevo, and many other islands that are blessed with splendid beaches. Near Komiza town, many pebble beaches dot the coast, including Nova Posta, Velo Zalo, and Gusarica. Komiza looks to the open sea at the two small islands known as Svetac and Bisevo. Bisevo is surrounded by high cliffs and is most famous for the Blue Cave and Monk Seal Cave you explore by boat. Once you head out of Vis town you will also find the nice sandy beaches of Prja, Rogacic, and Vela Scitnja.
