Vis

Vis is a small Croatian island in the Adriatic Sea. It is the farthest inhabited island off the Croatian mainland. The island of Vis is very captivating, primarily for its simplicity, rich history and many gorgeous bays that make it the perfect spot for a vacation!

The two largest settlements on the island are the town of Vis on the eastern side of the island, and Komiža, on the western side. Vis has a rich history, the sea surrounding it was the location of two important battles in the 19th century, both named Battle of Lissa happening in 1811 and 1866. It was a very important naval base during the 20th century, but its navy has been abandoned after Croatia gained its independence in 1991.
