Day 04: Vis
After another optional yoga or workout we will depart for Vis in the morning. We will have lunch in the harbor before a full day of exploring! Virtually untouched by modern tourism, the island of Vis is steeped in military history. Established as a military zone, Vis has only been accessible to foreigners since 1989. It is hard to top Vis’ combination of hidden beaches, fresh seafood, and authentic Croatian wine.
This day is all about activities and exploration. Rent scooters and cruise the rolling hills of Vis.
