In the morning we set sail towards the island of Vis. With lunch on board and a swim stop along the way, we arrive in Vis in the early afternoon.
Vis was once an important Yugoslav naval base and was closed to the public for years. Due to this isolation, Vis has a unique charm that is like visiting “the Mediterranean as it once was”, making it one of our favorite stops. In town, feel free to explore Vis at your leisure. We recommend visiting the Archaeological Museum located in the old Austrian Fort Gospina Batarija (Batteria della Madonna). Or relax with a wander down the seaside promenade, popping into any bar and restaurant that interests you!

Here you’ll enjoy a traditional “peka” dinner surrounded by olive groves and lavender fields at the Hora homestead. If you want to visit the town of Hvar in the evening, it is a short half hour drive from Stari Grad and your cruise manager can help you organize a local transfer to get you there and back.
