Wine

The heavy, delicious wine of Vis has been a delicacy of the region since time immemorial. Soil, climate and the devotion of the winegrowers produce a particularly recommendable drop. So if you spot a Vugava, Plavac or Opolo on a menu (which should not be all that difficult…), you would do best to make it clear quickly that you will not be driving any more this evening.

Dolphins

At other places in the Adriatic too the chances of spotting a few dolphins are good. But since the first coins minted on Vis in the 4th century were adorned with precisely these animals, the assumption suggests itself that there used to be a good many of them within sight of the island - and since these animals are so intelligent, the likelihood rises that during your holiday too they will be in the beautiful bays
