On the eastern side of the island, you can swim in the luminous blue lagoon and on the southern side sits the petty bay of Solinska. A plethora of beaches, friendly locals, and pure nature makes Drvenik Veli a sweet stop off on your Croatian charter.

In the north-eastern part of Vis Island, the town of Vis is situated at the bottom of a protected bay. If you are in love with culture, tradition, mystery and the best Adriatic cuisine has to offer, you will love Vis, or Issa (as the ancient Greeks called it). One of the reasons why Vis itself is considered a wonder is that it is a place where time remains still. Vis was established by ancient Greeks in 397 B.C, but has up to this day retained the old, irresistible Mediterranean charm and life without stress and trouble. It's a top destination for yachtsmen from all over the world and you will be able to find the secrets of Vis yourself.

Lying just southwest of Vis is the beautiful little island of Bisevo. You won't find cars or even shops here but its phenomenal beauty will enchant you. This island of caves, for which it is most famous, is the perfect spot to drop anchor for a day and go exploring. The jewel in Bisevo's glorious crown is the Blue Cave - for a couple of hours during the day the strong rays of sunshine illuminate the cave in a glowing, blue light. Given the Blue Cave's popularity in summer, it is also worth visiting the Green Cave - with it's soft green glow thanks to algae and micro-organisms living on the cave walls; and Monk Seal Cave for the more adventurous. You can enter the cave with a small boat, but to reach the small pebble beach at the end of the cave you'll need to jump in the water and swim there!
