      Day 2: Mysterious Island Of Vis

      Today you travel with the ferry from Split to the remote island of Vis, the furthest of the main central Dalmatian islands that was founded by Dionysius of Syracuse and the Greeks as their colony under the name Issa in the 4th century BC. 

      Most of the island was closed for foreign visitors until 1989 due to the fact that it was an important Yugoslav military base. Even today, Vis is still mysterious and the traditional and authentic way of island lifestyle has remained intact. In the afternoon cycle to the east side of the island and discover pebble and sandy beaches as well as scenic vineyards before returning to the town of Vis. In the evening, you can take a relaxing walk along the waterfront or sit for a glass of wine and taste the islandโ€™s simple cuisine that has a unique spirit and flavor.
