VIS ISLAND


Island of Vis is the ultimate romantic getaway.


Britons looking for a spot brimming at the seams with romance and passion in which to spend a short break with their lover should consider the Croatian island of Vis.

Surrounded by the beautiful blue waters of the Adriatic Sea, the destination is a tremendous blend of picturesque history and stunning natural scenery.

Its coast is packed with bays and coves that are just right for those who would like to while away the hours with a special someone on a deserted sandy beach.

Of course, a bright and warm climate can be expected – as with much of Croatia – arguably completing the romantic picture.

When it comes to tucking into local cuisine, the island is particularly well served by eateries with enticing menus full of native dishes – largely dominated by seafood – and wine that is produced in Vis itself.

Vis is a beautiful spot that is best shared with a loved one.


The medieval cities of Vis and Komiza are likely to be among the highlights for couples who want a little more than sun from their break and are, as a result, focused on soaking up the culture as much as the rays.

Elsewhere, people who wander out on to the sandy soil that makes up the landmass will find an ample supply of vineyards.

In a country that is renowned for its production of high-quality wine, Vis is arguably the jewel in the crown as its terrain and climate are spot-on for makers of the alcoholic beverage.

Vis is perhaps best known for its long and colourful history, as it was first inhabited in approximately 3,000 BC and has been home to a number of peoples since.

Today, its population is about 5,000 and it relies heavily on the tourist trade, ensuring all the right facilities are in place for every visitor that has the pleasure of arriving on its land.
