 Vis
Vis hidden beaches
 Shaped
like an arrowhead, Vis is situated further offshore than
any inhabited Adriatic island. For decades it was closed
for foreign tourists because of military reasons. This and
it's remoteness are the reason it has never been overrun
by tourists. Its isolation still keeps hordes of package-oriented
tourists away, but it became a favorite island for many
independent travelers, loved by its laid-back air and an
infectious charm.
Vis has many splendid beaches especially near Komiza town,
with a palm-fringed seafront. The eastern coast of the sandy
bottom bay of Komiza is mostly dotted with pebble beaches
(Gusarica, Nova posta, Velo zalo and
others), while there are also some sandy beaches.
Beautiful coves and beaches can be found also near Vis town.
Nice sandy and pebble beaches (Parja, Rogacic,
Mala and Vela Svitnja, etc.) are situated near the
town.  One
of the most beautiful is Stoncica bay, often refereed
as Vis' Hawaii, situated 6km from Vis town on the northeastern
coast of the island. It is a beautiful sandy bay with an
interesting restaurant with home atmosphere. There is a
beautiful lighthouse and few private apartments and whole
houses to rent. Some owners offer a taxi boat service to
Vis town. This is a perfect place to anyone seeking peace
and quiet, a vacation away from civilization. No phones,
no running waters but rainwater cisterns. Stoncica also
has a good mooring for nautical tourists.
 Island's
the biggest and the most beautiful sandy beach Zaglav
is situated 10km south of Vis town, near Milna village.
You can't drive all the way to Zaglav. You have to leave
your car in Milna and then walk for about 10 minutes along
the coastline path. You can also use a taxi boat from Milna.
In Zaglav there is a restaurant with a beautiful terrace
and few houses offering apartments. The place is convenient
for those who look for peace and isolation. Because of the
sandy beach, Zaglav cove is often visited by yachts. Burgujac
is a smaller sandy beach not far from Zaglav.
 Srebrena
beach (Silver Beach) is situated in Rukavac village
near Milna. Srebrena is especially beautiful white pebbles
beach, many say one of the msot beautiful beaches on the
Adriatic. Off the Rukavac Bay there are two small islands
with the famous Green Grotto which can be visited by organized
excursions by taxi boats.
