In the immediate vicinity of the island of Vis, just a few miles from the fishing town of Komiza, within the UNESCO-protected geopark of the Vis Archipelago, lies the Adriatic version of paradise. Although the island of Bishevo is about 6 square kilometers, it is very easy to fall in love with its magnificent beauty.
Walk around the harbour to Kut, the oldest and prettiest Vis town. Built by the Venetians in the 17th century, Kut is a series of courtyards and passageways in limestone, overhung with balconies, with steps rising up into the hills behind.
Stoncica bay is often called Vis’ Hawaii. It is a beautiful sandy bay.
On of the most beautiful hidden and picturesque bays is Stiniva. It is characterized by a very narrow entrance behind which the bay spreads and ends with a 30 meters wide beautiful pebble beach. There is no road that leads to the bay so the only way is to get there by boat.
Archaeological Museum where the island’s history is best displayed. Beside archaeological exhibitions, this museum also features a rich ethnographic collection.
Zaglav Beach features a beautiful cliff sidewalk with wild rosemary, sagebrush, and stunning ocean views.
Try lobsters at Pojoda.
Dive to a wreck of an Italian ship dating from the 1866 naval battle between Austria and Italy.

Welcome to the port of Vis, a place of natural beauty and mysticism. This charming Croatian port town has a fascinating history, dating back to ancient times when it was inhabited by the Illyrians. But there is one story that stands out from the rest, a tale of a mysterious woman known as the "Lady of the Sea."
Legend has it that the Lady of the Sea was a beautiful and powerful sea goddess who protected the sailors and fishermen of Vis. She would appear to them in times of need, guiding them to safety during storms and rough seas. It was said that she had the ability to calm the waters with a flick of her wrist and bring forth fish with just a whisper.
Many fishermen and sailors claimed to have seen her standing on the rocks, her long hair flowing in the wind and her arms stretched out towards the sea. She was a symbol of hope and protection, and many people believed that she was the reason why Vis was such a prosperous fishing town.
But there was a catch. The Lady of the Sea was known to be a fickle goddess, and she demanded offerings and sacrifices from the people of Vis in exchange for her protection. If they failed to offer her gifts or show her respect, she would punish them by sending storms and rough seas their way.
As time passed, fewer and fewer people believed in the Lady of the Sea, and her powers began to wane. Eventually, she disappeared altogether, and the people of Vis were left to fend for themselves on the open waters.
But even today, many locals and visitors to the port of Vis still believe in the Lady of the Sea. Some say that they can feel her presence in the cool sea breeze or see her reflection in the shimmering waters. And who knows, maybe if you're lucky, you'll catch a glimpse of her during your visit to this charming Croatian town.
