Island Vis, Travel Guide with travel tips for holidays in Island Vis, Croatia
History
In the 4th century B.C. the island of Vis, off the Croatian coast in the Adriatic Sea, was known as the island of Issa. It was an independent city-state that had its own money and established other colonies in the first century B.C. Through the years the island has been fought over many times and now it is part of Croatia. The island has two towns and 3,617 people live there. 
There are some smaller settlements on the island that are not on the coast which are farming areas. Twenty percent of the island's land is planted for wine production. It's also a big fishing area, so the economy is based on those two industries, although tourism does support it as well
The area around the island is great for diving, snorkeling and boating. There are several shipwrecks and other deep sea secrets that are waiting to be discovered in the waters off of Vis. There is an Archeological Museum and a Museum of Fisheries in the two ancient cities of Vis and Komiza. There are several crystal clear bays. Tourists can visit the island of Bisevo, the home the Blue cave, an iridescent reflection of blue and silver shades that mesmerizes visitors. The limestone hills and fertile valleys are intermingled with sand dunes.
Gastronomy and food
The hotels and private apartments are clean and the island food is sure to make a lasting impression. Fresh fish, lobster, lamb, sheep and goat cheese along with the excellent harvest of the local wine make this a dream come true.

It’s owned by Senko Karuza an artist, chef and philosopher.
