ISLAND VIS – ISSA PART II

Submitted by Croatia Expert on 4. February 2008 – 13:17No Comment

Hi I am back (-:, with some more information about my favourite Island Vis, on the island there are to main cities Vis(here you arrive with the ferry) and Komiža, both of them are wonderful relaxing places where you really feel you are on holiday, I am sure you will not disagree to this.

.

But of course when you are here you should also not miss out on Stiniva bay and the blue cave. Stiniva bay you can only reach by boat from ?, with the boat you will sail trough the few meter wide entrance, before anchoring up in front of the 30 meter long pebble beach.

Blue cave on island Bisevo next to Komiza

The Blue cave (Modra Spilja) on the island of Bisevo (Close to Komiža) is a natural phenomenon, where reflections of sunlight creates a marvellous light effect in blue and silver colours inside the cave. As I was child I used to swim here with my brother, once I remember we saw a sea turtle, as we came of the caves, which is something very rare here.

On the Island you find plenty of good restorations especially fish, all of them very good, but as for everything there is always a favourite mine is tavern „Jastozera” in Komiža, before many years the place used to be a reservoir for lobsters, so you can still sail into the restaurant with small boats and enjoy the excellent food..

Near by is also tavern –konoba “Bako” directly on the beach. In that tavern there are lot of things witnessing about peoples life in the past but the most precious and valuable is archaeological collection of Tonko Borcic Bako situated in the tavern. Bako was well known diver from Komiza.

In Vis I of course also have a favourite restaurant, the Villa Kaliopa, with its spectacular garden; the restaurant is ranked as one of best in Croatia.
