• Dear future sailors, party people and mermaids,
• After exploring Pakleni Islands, our next sailing
  destination is the island of Vis. The island of
  Vis is the most protruding Croatian island with
  an area of 90.30 km2 and also the farthest
  inhabited island off the Croatian mainland.

• The island of Vis is not so densely populated
  with its 3460 inhabitants (as of 2011), but it
  gets happily crowded in the summers. There are
  two destinations on this islands well be sailing
  to, Komiža, a small old Mediterranean town on the
  far side of the island of Vis, and the town of
  Vis, which is the most populated area on the
  island.

• The island has three mountains stretching across
  it, and there are karstic fields inbetween those
  mountains. The coasts of the island are sloped
  and separated. Komiža bay, where well dock, is
  situated on the west of the island, and on the
  north of it is Vis harbor.

• Vis has a very rich history. The first people who
  settled in Vis in 3000 B.C were of Mediterranean
  background. In 2000 B.C. they were pushed aside
  by the Illyrians who formed their own government
  in the fifth and the sixth century B.C. The
  Croats started settling in Vis in the seventh
  century.

• It is said that the first grape vine in Dalmatia
  was planted by the ancient Greeks and that it was
  planted on one of the many fields of Vis.

• More than two millenniums after, the locals still
  live from agriculture, fishing and tourism and
  try to maintain the natural beauty and
  resourcefulness of the island. Vis has always
  been an island of fishermen and winegrowers, and
  Komiža is considered to be a cradle of fishing in
  the Adriatic.
