Vis town, located on the northern side of the island, has developed near the remains of ancient Issa, the first urban center in Croatia.

Try some exquisite local wines in one of the Vis traditional wineries. If interested, visit the remains of the Roman thermal place, City museum or simply take a walk enjoying the views of the beautiful Villae Rusticae situated along the waterfront. Overnight in the port of Vis.

As sometimes weather conditions can be very unpredictable, the possibility of our visit will depend on those conditions, however you will be notified of this in time. Continue towards the jet-set island of Hvar with a swimming stop and lunch on board the Pakleni Islands. Hvar, the longest and sunniest island in the Adriatic is known for glorious lavender fields and breathtaking beauty.

We arrive in the afternoon on the tour of the town - the Renaissance cathedral with its original tower, and the oldest community theater in Europe founded in 1612.
