Vis Island- Croatia
The island of Vis has remained off-limits to visitors until 1989, since it had been used as military base by the former Yugoslavian army, and for this reason it holds a certain charm. Moreover, if you ask a Croatian to choose from 3 of the finest islands, he will certainly mention Vis as one of the three.
In the inland territories vineyards are cultivated, from which the famous white wine Vugava and the red wine Plavac are produced. And in addition to sea and sun, the island is also rich of history, hosting a large collection of ancient amphoras, sculptures, jewels and so much more. All these finds can be admired at the Archaeological Museum situated in the village of Vis, or simply walking. In proximity of the pier a Greek necropolis with some ruins and walls is visible, and just a few meters further, along the sea promenade, the rests of an ancient Roman spa.
Absolutely not to miss is an excursion to the small island of Bisevo, where the stunning Blue Cave (or Modra Spilla) is situated. Between 11 and 12 in the morning, the sun rays filter through a tiny creek underneath the water, producing amazing reflections of a supernatural blue colour, with the rocks on the background shining in silver and rose nuances.
