Vis Island

(known for: Blue lagoon Croatia (Blue Cave), RUINS, Mamma Mia 2)

If you’ve watched Mamma Mia 2, you know Vis. (the primary filming location for the movie). But despite all its movie star fame, Vis has someone stayed out of the clutches of over-tourism. Perhaps, because it’s the furthest island from the mainland. Or the old military base- which kept the public out for decades.

Whatever the reason, Vis is open and ready for you to visit.

The Blue Cave, Vis’s biggest attraction, is unlike anything else in the country. Every day from 11a.m.12 p.m. bright cerulean light floods the cave. It will leave you speechless. The Blue Grotto is an hour sail from Vis, but that is a small price to pay to see this natural wonder.

The island has ruins, groves of olive trees, and empty beaches. Komiža and Vis Town – the two main towns – look like they were pulled straight out of a medieval movie set.

The best part, the locals want more tourism. They want more travelers to come and explore everything their island has to offer.

Vis charming and gorgeous island lives up to its reputation. And I know one thing is for sure; skipping Vis is a mistake. And you’d be missing the best islands in Croatia.

How often do you stumble on an untouched utopia vying for your time? This has to be one of the best places to visit in Europe!

Getting to Vis

Getting to Vis is easy. From Split (a must-visit on the mainland) there are numerous ferries to the island.

The journey from Split to Vis takes an hour and a half. Nothing compared how long getting to some of the best islands in Greece takes.

On Wednesdays, there is a ferry from Hvar. And an indirect ferry from Brač once a week.
