Day 8
Palmizana-Vis 12.2 nm
Despite its picture postcard Mediterranean beauty, its olive groves and vines, its ancient ruins and deserted beaches, it has virtually no tourists. As an army base in former Yugoslavia, Vis Island never developed a tourist industry. When Vis finally opened for business in 1989, visitors were pleased to discover that its natural beauty remained intact. Much of the island is devoted to vineyards that produce the famous white wine, "Vugava" and the red wine "Plavac". In addition to interesting ruins from the Greek and Roman period, there are villas and churches dating from the 16th and 17th centuries.
Komiza is a picturesque fishing village on the western coast and makes a good base to catch a boat to the Blue Grotto on tiny Bisevo island. Between 11am and noon on a sunny calm day, rays of the sun passing through an underwater opening illuminate the cave with a luminous blue light while objects beneath the surface shimmer in silver and pink.
