Vis (island of Vis) [Island Vis]
Vis is the main town and ferry port of the central Dalmatian island of the same name, connected to the mainland by daily ferry lines from Split. The island and town of Vis (formerly known as Issa) go back to ancient times and have had a turbulent history, which can be seen by the numerous buildings and archeological sites. Many artifacts are nowadays part of the permanent exhibition of the Archeological Museum in Split. Apart from its rich cultural heritage, Vis is also known for its beautiful landscapes. Close to the town there are several sandy and pebble beaches (Parja, Rogacic, Mala Svitnja and Vela Svitnja). In the island's interior, on the road towards the town of Komiza, there are many vineyards where grapes for Viska vugava, Plavac and white wines are grown. The nature on the island of Vis is untouched because, until recently (1989), the island was not opened to tourists. Therefore, it is a great place for a quiet and pleasant holiday. Those interested in sports can play basketball or tennis, while the underwaters of Vis are rich in fish and have many splendid diving sites. Several summer events and traditional music evenings take place on the island of Vis in July and August.
