Discover what Vis has to offer

Heavenly beaches
The beauty of Vis is extraordinary. Due to the long period of isolation, it avoided excessive construction and commercialization, thus preserving the original Mediterranean charm and untouched nature. This was also reflected on the beaches, with no big crowds in sight, they are mostly given the epithet “divine”, and the sea is so clear that you can see right through to the bottom. Swim on the sandy beaches of Stončica, Milna and Zaglav or the pebble cove of Srebrna
Green Cave
On the southern side of the island of Vis, on the uninhabited islet of Ravnik, there is the Green Cave. The most magnificent work of untouched nature in the Adriatic Sea. Today it’s a favourite destination for sailors, but in the Second World War it sometimes served as a safe haven for small warships. The cave was named “Green” due to the greenish reflection of the sea, which is a consequence of the abundance of green algae that are found at the bottom of the rocks at the entrance. The cave is spacious with two large entrances, and swimming is also allowed. At the very entrance, your attention will be drawn by the chirping of birds that have found their shelter right in the cave
Queen’s cave
The Queen’s cave is located on the north side of the island of Vis, in archaeological finds from the Neolithic and Late Bronze Age. It was named after a legend that claims it was the home of Queen Illyric Teuta. The composition of the cave is quite royal: it consists of 5 halls and corridors connecting them. Some of the cave canals have not yet been explored. Although beautiful, the Queen’s cave is much harder to access than other caves. As it is not a sea cave, it takes an hour to walk along a narrow path east of the small village of Oključna to reach it
