Stepping back in time on Vis Island

The island of Vis is the most remote inhabited island in Dalmatia and has only recently been open to tourism! The island was once used as a strategic military port throughout WWII, meaning it still has evidence of military action scattered throughout the island- think submarine tunnels and air bases all waiting to be explored! Croatian hospitality, delicious traditional food, hidden bays and turquoise waters are all just a short cycle away on the island of Vis.
