Vis Essentials

Vis served as a strategic military base for decades, resulting in a landscape dotted with Cold War tunnels and submarine pens. This selection highlights the island's dual identity: its dramatic geological formations like the enclosed Stiniva Cove and the luminescent Green Cave, alongside its historical significance. From the 16th-century Perasti Tower to Tito’s mountain headquarters and the active Stončica lighthouse, these sites represent the island’s evolution from an ancient Greek colony to a remote Mediterranean retreat.
