Because of its location, it’s had a rich history, traces of which remain in the form of historical and cultural monuments.

You can’t go wrong when visiting Vis in Croatia, but some guidelines from Yacht In will help you make the best of your vacation. This is a true example of a Mediterranean island with a tradition of winemaking, fishing, and great food.

What Makes Vis Special

This question has many answers, but let’s focus on the two most important.

Unique Beaches

Vis is home to the fabulous Stiniva Beach. It’s hidden in Stiniva Bay and surrounded by two cliffs that form a narrow entrance by the sea.

This is one of the most unique beaches you’ll ever visit. The beach itself is pebbled and great for any activity. However, getting to Stiniva requires a hike down a narrow path, so come prepared.

If you’d like easier access, renting a boat is a great idea. In general, it’s a good idea to rent a yacht when visiting Croatian islands and even try island hopping.

There are many more beautiful beaches in Vis – Stiniva is simply the most peculiar. The sea around Vis is crystal-clear, and you’ll sail smoothly because it’s far from the coast.

Blue Cave Phenomenon

Stiniva isn’t the only peculiarity near the island of Vis. Biševo is a small island near Vis, home to the Blue Cave, a natural phenomenon that enchants many tourists each year.

Because of its structure, the light that comes into the cave makes it glow blue, so it seems like the sea is shining. You can only enter by a small boat and organized tours.

Magical Neighbouring Islands

Biševo isn’t the only island near Vis; many more will leave you enchanted by their natural beauty.

Some are of volcanic origin, such as Brusnik or Jabuka, while Palagruža is unique because of its endemic flora and fauna.

Take a one-day trip by boat to any of these incredible islands and explore their untouched nature.
