Komiža: A Village on The Mysterious Island of Vis

In the heart of the Adriatic, lies the mysterious island of Vis.

Vis is about 2.5 hours by ferry from the mainland.

Just enough time for a cup of coffee and a bite to eat.

The island was settled over 3,000 years ago.

Up until recently, Vis was a secretive military installation.

Only a few people were allowed to visit.

Today, its citrus groves and its vineyards are open to everyone.

Vis is known for its unique grape varietal: vugava.

It was once thought to be the ancestor of viognier.

A 16th century Venetian tower crowns a waterfront built on a once-thriving fishing industry.

Today, Komiža revolves around tourism and serves as a safe harbor for pleasure craft.

Stroll through the old town then climb up to the church of Saint Nicholas.

Built in the 13th century, it boasts incredible views of Komiža.

Afterwards, enjoy a glass of vugava while taking in a Komiža sunset.
