VIS
The outermost island off the Dalmatian coast, just 60 miles from the Italian coast, is exactly what you would expect--unspoiled, rugged, rising majestically out of the Adriatic and crowned by its three mountains. Vis has always been an island of fishermen and winegrowers and is loved for its beautiful beaches, nature, ecological agriculture, traditional architecture and as the place where Marshall Tito directed the partisans from his secret cave here during WW2. Komiža, a sweet little village on the south side of the island, is the place that many historians consider to be the cradle of fishing in the Adriatic. The approach is spectacular, with sweeping panoramic views and beautiful light. Be sure to take some photos of Zonkos Palace, a handsome Venetian style villa. And visit the Fishermen’s Museum, originally a fortress built in the 16th century. Tito's Cave is actually two caves reached by stone staircases (200 steps!). Daily ferries from Split—you can do it in a day, but why not plan on spending the night or more?!
