Car ferry from Split to Vis

FAQ – Split – Vis Ferry

Both ferry routes 602 and 9602 are state lines , meaning that the state partly finances them, reason for this is to ensure that the people living on Island Vis have an affordable option to get to the mainland year around.

Basically neither Split port nor Vis port has a car queuing system, so normally cars, trucks, buses, would be loaded according to when they arrived at the port , but there is an exception, on Sat and Sun during July and August cars are loaded first on the first two car ferry departures to and from Vis.

Yes but only on the car ferry departures, for the bike you need to buy a ticket which costs the same as a foot passenger ticket.

You can bring your dog, if you follow the terms of Jadrolinija .

The Island buses between Vis and Komiza drive according to ferry and catamaran arrivals and departures.

Both are great options, you should take car ferry, if you like to sit outside and enjoy the views, and you should take the catamaran If you want the fastest trip.

2024 Split to Vis Ferry Prices

Below you can see the summer price list for the car ferry from Split to Vis, the foot passenger price for the catamaran is 8,23 € one way, while the catamaran price is 9,36 € one way.

It often happens that people travelling by, car or bus get a bit confused about how to calculate the price, so here are a few examples

travel split to vis

Car with passengers

If you are e.g. 3 adults and a regular car going on the ferry, the price calculations for one-way tickets are the following, car (Less than 5 meters in length, and two meters in height) = 47,25 € + 3 adults (3 * 8,23 €) = 24,69 €, so in total, your price will be 71,94 €. As there is no discount for return tickets the round trip price will be 143,87 € or roughly 47,91 € per person .

Jadrolinija Pricelist Split to Vis Ferry

Bus with passengers

For a bus the way of calculating is different,  if you have a bus with space for 30 people and 22 passengers , the price is 225,10 €, which includes the bus and the passengers!

Getting to Vis

A Jadrolinija ferry docking at Vis Town

The main way of getting to Vis is from Split on the mainland. Although there are some (not very frequent!) ferry services from elsewhere, it is advisable to travel from Split to have the greatest choice in routes.

If you’re holidaying on another island, it is therefore advisable to travel back to Split and then on to Vis from there.

Getting to Vis - Jadrolinija Ferry

Getting to Vis by ferry and catamaran from Split

Jadrolinija operate a year-round daily catamaran service from Split to Vis Town – journey time is just under 1 and a half hours. Departure times vary slightly depending on the day of the week and time of the year.

Once a week on Tuesdays (year round), this route also stops at Hvar Town along the way. On Wednesdays (also year round) this catamaran instead stops at Milna on Brac.

Jadrolinija also run a twice-daily car ferry from Split to Vis. Journey time is two hours and twenty minutes.

Getting to Vis by catamaran from Hvar

As mentioned above, once a week on Jadrolinija ‘s catamaran service from Split to Vis there is a stop at Hvar Town. If you’re lucky enough to be in Hvar on that particular day, you can travel on to Vis without having to travel via Split! (This route is not suitable for a day trip from Hvar to Vis – because of the departure times – but you could squeeze in a partial day-trip from Vis to Hvar!)

Getting to Vis by catamaran from Brac

Again, it’s not ideal to travel direct from Brac to Vis as there is only a once-a-week service. Operating from Milna, this service (with  Jadrolinija ) runs on Wednesdays – so if you’re thinking of travelling on that day, you’re in luck! Otherwise, return to Split from Brac and then sail to Vis.

Excursions to Vis

It is possible to visit Vis from the islands of Hvar and Brac, or from Split on the mainland, on an excursion. Enquire at local travel agencies for excursions, or take a look at the following options:

  • Speedboat Hvar Vis and Blue Cave Tour from Split, this 10-hour tour takes in these three special locations
  • The 8-hour Blue Cave and Vis Culinary Day Trip from Hvar also includes a wine-tasting and a meal on Vis
  • The 10-hour Blue Cave and Surrounding Islands Boat Trip from Split takes in both the Blue and Green Caves as well as Hvar and the nearby Pakleni islands
  • The 5 Islands Tour With Speed Boat can be taken from either Split or Trogir and includes visiting the islands of Bisevo , Vis, Ravnik, Budikovac and Hvar

Vis Island is a must-see on your island-hopping adventure in Croatia. In my travel guide, I have the best things to do, what to see, what to eat, and where to sleep in Vis, Croatia.

Croatia Travel Blog_Things To Do In Vis Croatia

Island hopping is one of the most popular activities for visitors to Croatia . It is not hard to see why when you look at the Adriatic Sea’s glorious turquoise water .

While island hopping in Croatia is amazingly fun, there’s something to be said for taking time to explore the varied islands staggered along the mainland of southern Croatia. Before spending three days in Dubrovnik , we knew we wanted to visit one of the many Dalmatian Islands along Croatia’s coast.  

While the island of Hvar is a favorite for many, we wanted something quieter and off the beaten path. We chose to visit the island of Vis, the harder to get to but oh so worth it.

Skip Ahead To My Advice Here!

Is Vis Island Worth Visiting?

Vis is the perfect place to slow down. Wild and untouched , it’s the ideal place for solo travelers looking for quiet rejuvenation, couples wanting a romantic holiday, or families looking for a nature-based getaway.

You won’t find any big resorts or packaged hotel deals on this picture-perfect island. You will find loads of private accommodation options, crystal-clear beaches, scenic fishing villages, sprawling vineyards, and delectable cuisine.

It’s no wonder that Mamma Mia’s producers decided to film the second installment of the movie on Vis, opting for this charming island as the filming location over Greece .

I highly recommend this tour if you are a fan of Mamma Mia.

While Vis has managed to stay under the radar, there are plenty of things to do in Vis that will keep you interested the entire time you are there. Don’t confuse peaceful and idyllic for boring, though! We suggest at least three days to get a small glimpse of the island, but if you can stay for a week, why wouldn’t you ?

We’ve outlined everything you need to know, including things to do in Vis and everything you need to know to have the best time on the island.

Things To Do In Vis Island

There is no shortage of Vis activities to keep you busy; here are just a few. Including where to eat, the best places to sleep, and of course, the best beaches on Vis!

Swim At Stiniva Bay

Vis Croatia Cruises

Vis Island is home to Stiniva Beach, awarded by European Best Destinations  as one of the best beaches in Europe. Stiniva beach is an almost completely obscured white pebble cove flanked by two towering cliffs with a small opening out to sea. It is a sight to behold and part of what makes it so captivating. It’s a great spot to go cliff jumping as well!

Getting to Stiniva Beach is half of the adventure. One option is to hike down the 20-30 minute path to the beach. There is an ominous sign at the top of the hike that says, “Warning! Descend at your own risk.” We did it and really didn’t think it was too bad. We even saw young children doing the hike . It is steep and rocky, though, so flip-flops are guaranteed to make this a rough hike. Proper walking shoes and a hat are a must .

If you prefer a more mellow entrance to the beach , you’ll need to hire a boat in Vis Town or Komiza or go on a guided tour to visit this secluded beach. If you decide to go on a tour, we suggest making a trip with a full day of excursions to different coves to get the most out of your time.

Due to its small size and popularity, it can get quite crowded on the beach. The best times to visit will be early in the morning or late in the afternoon.

Visit The Best Beaches Of Vis Island

Best Things To Do In Vis Croatia - Stiniva

Like most of Croatia, most beaches on Vis are pebble beaches, so don’t forget to bring your water shoes . While Stiniva Beach is the most famous beach on Vis Island, there are plenty of other amazing coves and pebble beaches that offer the same fantastic beauty…without the crowds. Here are some great beaches in Vis.

Srebrna Beach

This pebble beach is another popular beach for tourists and locals alike. Dubbed “Silver Beach” for the unique color of its rocks, this beach is open to the sea , giving it gentle waves throughout the year. There is no food supplied at the beach, so come prepared with snacks and drinks. When you arrive at the beach, you can choose to head towards Bilbos, a nudist beach, or Teplus, a more family-oriented clothing beach.

Stoncica Bay

The first beach after leaving Vis Town is the family-friendly Stoncica Beach. It stays shallow for about 30 meters, and its sandy bottom makes this beach a great option if you’re traveling with kids . Also, it offers plenty of shady sections and a snack bar for hungry bellies.

Milna Beach

Best Things To Do In Vis Croatia - Milna

Located right off the main road, this is an excellent option if you want a beach that offers easy access with no walking required. It’s a sandy beach that stays shallow for about 30-40 meters. It has a small area to sit and sunbathe in and is another wonderful option if you travel with kids . There is no shade on the beach, so you will need to bring your umbrella or sunhat. When we visited, there were beach chairs and umbrellas you could rent.

Zaglav Beach

Our favorite beach on the island is the sandy beach , Zaglav Beach. Located next to Milna Beach, you’ll need to park at Milna Beach and take the 15-20 minute trail starting at Milna Beach. It’s a beautiful cliff sidewalk with wild rosemary, sagebrush, and stunning ocean views. The beach is sandy with gentle water and has a small bar offering refreshments. Like Milna Beach, there is no shade protection, so you’ll need to plan accordingly. If you visit in the shoulder season, you will likely have the beach almost entirely to yourself.

Did You Know?

Since the spring of 2019, there are two UNESCO Global Geoparks in Croatia . The newest addition to Croatia’s numerous UNESCO-protected areas is the Vis Archipelago. Among the most remote islands in Croatia , they’re also the oldest Croatian islands in the Adriatic. They’re formed by some of the oldest rocks in the Adriatic Sea, the main reason for their UNESCO designation, which you can read all about here.

Visit The Blue Cave And Green Cave

Best Things To Do In Vis Croatia - Caves

The Blue Lagoon is a unique phenomenon that occurs for about two hours daily. Located in Bisevo, a neighboring small island close to Komiza, the blue grotto is a natural wonder where the sun’s rays pass through a small underwater opening and illuminate the cave in luminescent blue light.

I recommend visiting the cave with this guided tour if you are coming from Split or Trogir.

You can take 20-minute boat trips from the Komiza Harbor to Bisevo, where you can purchase tickets or buy a tour of Komiza that will include other sights like the Green Cave Porat Beach.

The Blue Cave is a top-rated tourist site, and if you are visiting during the high season of July and August, the experience may be underwhelming due to the long wait and the short time (five minutes) spent in the cave.

It’s a much better experience during the slower season of June and September . If you are visiting during the high season, it’s best to see the cave as early as possible. It won’t be as vivid blue, but it will be a more satisfying experience.

Best Things To Do In Vis Croatia - Cave

Another great option is to see the Green Cave on nearby Ravik Island. The cave is called the green cave because of the emerald reflection cast onto the walls from the sun hitting the algae-covered rocks below. The green cave may not offer the vivid blue experience of the Blue Cave, but unlike the blue grotto, you can swim and snorkel in the cave’s waters . 

Visit Komiza

Best Things To Do In Vis Croatia - Komiza

Located on the island’s western side, Komiza is a charming fishing village located at the base of Mount Hum. Located about 15 minutes from Vis Town, you can easily combine a trip to Komiza with a tour to see the Blue Cave .  

It’s a charming old town with cobblestone streets that zig-zag their way through art galleries, bohemian clothing stores, and open-air cafes . Spend a morning or afternoon strolling the streets, dining waterside,   or swimming on the pebble stone beach.

Wine Tasting Local Vis Island Wines

Traveling through Vis, you’re bound to see that much of the land is dedicated to vineyards producing the island’s two excellent wine varieties. Vis produces two original local wines , the robust red Plavac Mali and the dry white Vugaga. You can try them at most restaurants on the island or organize a wine tour where you will be taken on a guided walk through the vineyards, free-flowing wine tastings, and a delicious lunch.

Visit Tito’s Cave

For those who like to immerse themselves in the history of a place, a hike on Mount Hum will lead you to Tito’s Cave. Tito’s Cave is where the famous resistance leader Tito hid out during World War II, where he believed he strategized and plotted attacks. Since Vis Island was a naval base during the days of the former Yugoslavia,   it houses many hidden bunkers, forts, and military buildings. The caves can be seen as a part of a guided military tour but can also quickly be done on one’s own. There is no entrance fee to see the cave.

Scuba Dive Ship Wrecks Off Vis Island

While Vis isn’t known for its outstanding coral reefs,   it does offer an abundance of shipwreck sites due to its rocky coastline. ISSA Diving Center , located in Komiza, can take you to different crash sites, including two plane wrecks from WWII. With such a significant amount of dive sites, everyone from the beginner diver to the most experienced can find something to explore.

Hire A Boat On Vis Island

A great way to hit up all the sights on Vis is to do a boat tour around the island of Vis. If you don’t plan to rent a scooter on Vis, doing a boat tour as a full-day  trip will allow you to hit up many of the spots mentioned above. You can easily find tour guides in Vis Town or Komiža. Most tours will stop at the Blue Cave, Green Cave, Stiniva, and other secluded bays.

Sunset Stroll From Vis Town To Kut

Best Things To Do In Vis Croatia - Sunset

A fantastic way to cap the evening is to take a sunset stroll from Vis Town to Kut or visa-versa. A well-lit path along the water makes for a simple stroll complete with artsy boutiques and hip cafes. The walk is a casual 20-minute stroll, but with ample opportunities to stop at restaurants and boutique stores, it can easily be a simple evening out. 

Take Your Time Exploring Vis Town

Best Things To Do In Vis Croatia - Vis Island Above

Vis Town is definitely worth exploring, and with so much history, you can expect different types of architecture. There are also lots of different churches across the city, and you should take the time to visit Fortica Fortress. The Archaeological Museum is a great spot to learn more.

A great photo spot is the Issa town walls, which show the ruins of the old streets and the Roman Theater. If you’re into history, definitely head here.

The Military Tour

No, you’re not joining the army, but you can visit the former Yugoslav army’s military base and check out the countless tunnels and subways that were once very much at the heart of the action. There is also a huge missile base near Komiza called Stupišće Point, which has bunkers and more tunnels.

The tour includes all of this, and you will learn a lot during your time.

Biševo Island

If you take a trip to the Blue Cave (a must-do), visit Biševo Island for a quick visit. This is a beautiful area that has some great beaches, with fewer visitors than Vis Island’s main spots.

If you’re traveling with children, definitely check out Porat Beach, with its shallow and calm waters, and you’ll find lots of seafood restaurants here.

Budikovac Island

Here, you will find the Blue Lagoon, an endlessly blue body of water ideal for cooling down during the hottest months. If you can get a photograph of just how blue it really is, you’ll definitely spice up your Instagram page, but most people settle for just swimming and enjoying the natural surroundings.

Some boat trips stop by here, but if not, you can charter a boat to take you there.

Hum Mountain

For the very best sunsets, head to Hum Mountain. The panoramic views are mind-blowing, and when the sun goes down, the endless hues will take your breath away. You can often visit the mountain as part of a visit to Tito’s Cave, as they’re very close to one another. The other plus point is that it’s free.

Brands We Use And Trust

How to get to vis island.

The most economical way to get to Vis is from Split on the Jadrolinija Car Ferry . The ferry ride takes 2 hours and 20 minutes, and the fast catamaran takes 1 hour and 25 minutes. Tickets can be purchased online or in person at the ferry dock.

If you are traveling in the high season, it’s best to get them beforehand for peace of mind. Generally, the ferry from Split leaves three times a day, and in high season, it runs four times a day. The schedule varies by day and season, so it’s always best to check online or in person for accurate timetables and fares . 

When To Go To Vis

The high season in Vis, Croatia, is July to August when all of Europe is on holiday, and everyone is basking in the heat of the Mediterranean. A wonderful time to visit, but crowds and prices will be at their highest. Vis is a popular spot for sailors island hopping through Croatia .

During the day, the boats will anchor near the island and enjoy the unspoiled charm of Vis. If you can, it’ll be more economical and less crowded if you can visit in the shoulder season of June or September. We visited in late September, and it was still hot enough to enjoy the water, and many times we had the beach to ourselves.

How To Get Around Vis

Best Things To Do In Vis Croatia - Scooter

Vis is a small island that can be easily looped in a half-day, seeing that the entire island is 90 kilometers in size. By far, the best way to get around the island is by renting a scooter in Vis Town or Komiža.   Exploring Vis on a scooter is more economical and allows you to explore the island’s wild interior on your own time.

As long as you take proper precautions, getting around the island should be easy and fun! In addition to renting a scooter, you can also rent a car in Vis Town. While some people enjoy biking in Vis, it is hilly terrain, so biking should be left to those who enjoy mountain bike riding. 

We recommend you book your ferries with Ferryhopper in advance here.

Where to stay in vis.

Best Things To Do In Vis Croatia - Habor

When deciding where to stay in Vis, the most common question is, “Should I stay in Vis Town or Komiza?” Both are fantastic options, and you can’t go wrong either way.

The pros of staying in Vis are its proximity to the harbor, which is convenient for arriving on and subsequently leaving the island b y  ferry. Vis town also offers some of the best dining on the island, and everything is accessible with an easy walk.

Komiza, on the other hand, is located slightly further away (15 minutes from Vis) but is quieter and, for many, offers a charming ambiance that can’t be beaten. We opted to stay in Kut, which is the old section of Vis Town and, in our opinion, a good mix of both Vis Town and Komiža. Set slightly away from the main strip, Kut has a simpler feel with great restaurants and the always necessary local gelato shop. 

Since Vis isn’t an overly touristy island, there are a small number of hotels and villas that offer everything from simple budgets to luxury villas.

Here are some popular options for where to stay in Vis.

  • Hotel San Giorgio.  Considered the best hotel on the island, this small family-run hotel is located in Kut in a beautiful stone house surrounded by lush greenery
  • Seafront Rooms Koluna.  An elegant bed and breakfast situated in Komiža. Overlooking the port of Komiza, the rooms offer balconies with a sea view
  • Guest House Bellevue.  A great mid-range guesthouse in Vis Town that includes a small outdoor pool. Its location next to the harbor and restaurants makes it an excellent choice for someone who wants the convenience of proximity
  • Another great option is to stay in an apartment or house. We opted to stay in an apartment and were so happy with that choice

Where To Eat When You Visit Vis Island

Food on Vis is not surprisingly influenced by the sea, so you will find many  seafood-inspired style dishes . The best restaurants are located in Kut, the old section of Vis Town. Some excellent restaurants to try are:

  • Fort George: located outside of Vis Town, Fort George is a hip modern restaurant housed in what was once a British Fort named after the British King, King George III.

They also offer free transportation to guests staying in Vis Town
  • Konobo Kantun: Konobo Kantun offers a small menu that delivers a big flavor. Fresh seafood and traditional dishes make this charming restaurant a popular spot for visitors to the island. Focusing on what they do best allows them to create delicious savory food
  • Konobo Rokis: any self-proclaimed foodie will have to visit Konobo Rokis while visiting Vis. The family-owned tavern is an essential place to try out the traditional Croatian dish . Peka. Peka is a slow-cooked meal done under a metal dome. To dine at Roki’s, you must call in advance to book a table and put in your order at the time of making your reservation. They offer four choices of lamb, veal, fish, or octopus. It’s advised to call ahead a few days in advance during high season if you want to secure this delectable dining experience. The restaurant is small and simple but incredibly ambient and cozy
  • Karijola: if you’re looking for some delicious pizza on the island, Karijola, located along the water, is the place to go. The popular pizzeria offers wood-fired pizza with fresh ingredients to satisfy your post-beach pizza craving. It’s a perfect place to go after a sunset harbor stroll between Kut and Vis Town

Best Time To Visit Vis

 The best time for your adventure to Vis is late spring to early autumn, specifically May through September. This window strikes the perfect balance, offering warm, sunny days ideal for beach hopping and exploring the local culture without the peak summer crowds.

If you’re planning tours around the island or looking to dive into the heart of Vis’s rich history and stunning natural landscapes, these months provide comfortable weather for all your activities.

History of vis croatia.

Best Things To Do In Vis Croatia - Saling Vis Island

Vis is the oldest established town in Dalmatia , founded in 397 B.C. Vis has retained its small island charm because it has only recently opened its island doors to tourism.  

Until 1989, Vis served as a Yugoslav military base , effectively cutting off any foreign visitors for 30 years. This seclusion led to a halt in development and population. Now that it’s opened its doors to the tourism industry, visitors have slowly been trickling in and discovering this under-the-radar gem .

Book this guided tour to learn more about the island’s history.

Vis is a spectacular place to kick back and enjoy the elegant beauty of the Adriatic Sea. We hope you enjoy the beauty of the lovely Vis Island as much as we did!

Why Vis is the Croatian island that will steal your heart

Vis Croatia

When you visit 6 different Croatian islands in 8 days, it is hard not to fall in love with all of them. But during my Split to Dubrovnik Sailing Adventure with Intrepid Travel, there was one island that really stole my heart: Vis.

There is a charm about Vis that is palpable from the minute you arrive. The local vibe is proud yet welcoming, beautiful yet humble, charming yet unpretentious. The cozy restaurants will have you hanging out for hours sipping on locally-produced wine from the island and enjoying the company of friendly locals.

It was only the second stop on our 8-day itinerary in Croatia , but I found myself thinking back on my time in Vis throughout the entire rest of the trip (although Korcula came a close second!).

Vis Croatia

A stunning piece of land about a 4-hour sail from Split, Vis encapsulated everything I had pictured about Croatia prior to traveling there – stunning scenery, unique history, adorable towns – in one easy-to-explore port.

Interesting local history

I am, admittedly, a history nerd, but regardless of your affinity for yesteryear, there are several interesting things to discover about the history of Vis. Just steps from the central Vis town are Roman ruins dating back to the 4th century BC. Named Issa, the island became an independent polis in the Roman Empire and even founded colonies such as Split. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the island came under the control the Venetian Empire when most of its main settlements came to exist in their modern form, which is why you will vestiges of Italian cooking throughout the island’s cuisine.

The most fascinating part of Vis’ history however falls during World War II when Josip Tito, the leader of the Yugoslavian resistance, hid out on the island to escape the Axis powers. Vis was one of the most heavily bombed Croatian islands during the war, which is surprising because it was only sparsely inhabited, and today the shores are a treasure trove of wrecks which can be explored by scuba diving. Vis also served as a British army base during the war to help protect Tito, who stayed in a remote cave for several months, which you can visit as a historical site today.

I learned about all of this during a 3-hour wine and history tour of Vis, led by a charming and knowledgeable local historian. His passion for his home island showed through his tour which made it all the more fun! Our captain Ante helped us set up the tour for bonding as a group. (Read more local tips from our skipper, Ante, here !)

Charming small towns and adorable villages

The main city on Vis is Vis Town, which is the most likely spot to port if you’re on one of Intrepid’s Sailing Adventure itineraries but don’t limit yourself to just exploring Vis town; there are several other adorable hamlets and villages around the island that will easily capture your heart.

VISIT CROATIA ON ONE OF INTREPID TRAVEL’S SMALL GROUP TRIPS

About a 20-minute walk east along the waterfront of Vis Town will bring to the old town which is full of beautiful galleries and delicious restaurants. For dinner one night, our captain was kind enough to make a reservation for our whole group to eat together at Stara Teza, an adorable restaurant with a gorgeous little garden patio.

Adorable dining spots in Vis

Another must-visit town on Vis is Komiza, which is best seen at golden hour or sunset. This charming fishing village is so darn picturesque you’ll wander down every alley snapping photos and saying “OMG this street is cuter than the last!” The sandstone architecture and bell tower are cute enough, but the town is nestled on the edge of the water with vintage boats in the harbor beneath the backdrop of the forested mountain. It is truly beautiful!

Beautiful natural scenery

Vis is the farthest of the islands in Dalmatian chain with one of the highest altitudes at 580 meters, which gives you stunning views of the entire region, especially on a clear day. The name Vis originates from the Croatian word Visena which means height, and from one of the highest points on the island, you can even see to Italy on a cloudless day!

The stunning scenery of Vis

In addition to mountain scenery, Vis also has lots of beautiful beaches throughout the island where you can easily jump into the crystal blue water. There is one walking distance from Vis town which is used by locals and visitors alike or you can find a rocky beach right smack dab in the middle of Komiza town which offers a gorgeous sunset!

Finally, Vis is the ideal jumping off point for exploring another natural wonder nearby – the Blue Cave! You’ll see day trip operators around the island offering tours of the cave (it can only be visited with a licensed operator) and you can even find tours offered as far away as Split. The Blue Cave is on a small island just off the coast of Vis, forming a stunning ocean cave with an underwater display of iridescent blue water.

Travel Guide To Vis

Free travel guide to Vis Croatia

The remote Croatian island of Vis is as impregnable as a Bond villain's lair and as beautiful as Capri before the tourists. Despite its picture postcard Mediterranean beauty, its olive groves and vines, its ancient ruins and deserted beaches, it has virtually no tourists. It seems the only foreigners who have discovered it are those who arrive on the glamorous Italian and Austrian yachts that moor here in the evening.

Where to eat out in Vis

Fishing is the island's principal industry, and the fish is excellent, especially skarpina, the ugly, dragon-headed red fish known as rascasse in France. The style of cooking is essentially Italian, with a lot of risottos and spaghetti dishes. There is good cheese, excellent prosciutto (known as prsut ), and delicious octopus salad. In Vis town, the good restaurants are in the part of the town called Kut, on the eastern side of the harbour. Stop for an aperitif at one of the cafés on the main street: try the local vermouth or the delicious, amber-coloured, sweet wine Prosek (matured by burying the bottles in sand).

RESTAURANT VAL

(00 385 21 711 763). This has a palm-shaded terrace overlooking the bay and truly outstanding cooking. It specialises in shellfish and crustacea, but also features vegetable dishes (a rarity), including a memorable caponata (capers are another of the island's crops).

VILLA KALIOPA

(00 385 21 711 755). Situated in the garden of the 16th-century Garibaldi Palace and the smartest restaurant in town, Villa Kaliopa is frequented by those on the biggest yachts.

KONOBA VATRICA

(00 385 21 711 574). The place to go for a more modest meal. It has a peka, a traditional wood-fired oven used to cook fish or meat.

(00 385 21 713 742). This is Koniza's best-known restaurant, down an alley off the road that leads from the old town to the main beach. It has a gorgeous waterside terrace and terrific view.

Things to do in Vis

The best sand beaches are those at Milna and Stoncica, a narrow inlet cleft in the rock with warm, aquamarine water. Even more stunning is the beach at Srebrna, where the large, flat, pale stones give the place its name ('silvery'). You can stick to the shingle beaches around Vis Town, but those at the island's other town, Komiza, 10km away on the west of the island and easily accessible by bus or scooter, are better. And it's a pretty place for a day out, with its 16th-century Venetian fort, palm-fringed square and old harbour.

How to get to Vis

International flights go to Split airport on the mainland.

AIRLINES FROM THE UK

Croatia Airlines (020 8563 0022; www.croatiaairlines.hr ) flies four times a week from Gatwick to Split on the mainland and about five times a week from Heathrow to Split via Zagreb.

Vis is the westernmost of the larger Dalmatian islands, two and a half hours by ferry from Split. From Split you get a ferry operated by Jadrolinija (UK agent is Dalmatian & Istrian Travel; 020 8749 5255). The London-based agency Croatia for Travellers (020 7226 4460) can negotiate good rates and arrange all ferry tickets and transfers in advance.

Ferries to Vis leave at 9am, so you will probably need somewhere to stay overnight. A better option than Split, which is ugly and industrial, is Trogir, 10 minutes' drive from the airport. A World Heritage Site since 1997, Trogir is an exquisite walled city with four Gothic campaniles, set on a tiny island linked to the mainland by a bridge. It has a good if modest hotel, the family-run Fontana (00 385 21 885 744; fax: 885 755). There's also a fine cathedral, St Lovro and a handful of other churches, renaissance palaces and museums. In the evening, the locals come out for korzo (the Croatian passegiata ) and a drink or an ice-cream in one of the cafes that fill the squares off the main street, ulica Kohl-Genscher. For decent food, try Alka, Augustina Kazotica 15; tel: 00 385 21 881 856

GETTING AROUND

If you want a car on Vis, you'll need to hire one in Split, where all the major companies have offices. Scooters and mountain bikes can be hired on the island from either of the tourist agencies on the main road. They also arrange boat excursions.

Authenticity, nature, gourmet delights and peace…

  • Island of Vis

….offering its unique traditions, history, cultural heritage and natural beauties and it is slowly becoming one of the most popular tourist destinations in Croatia.

The island of Vis is a small and the outermost Croatian island with an area of 90.30 km2, 77 kilometers long rocky shore and population of about 3 600 inhabitants.

It is located on the open sea , 45 kilometers from the mainland and it is surrounded by archipelago which consists of many smaller islands and islets: Ravnik, Budikovac, Bisevo, Svetac, Jabuka, Brusnik and Palagruza.

It is approximately 60 miles away from the Italian coast . The highest peak on the island is Hum with 587 meters over sea level.

Island of Vis - split excursions 1

The island of Vis is a pearl among Croatian Adriatic islands , left untouched by the development of tourism for so many years – due to its strategic location on the open sea, it served as a military zone for many years. The island began to open slowly to the outside world, offering its unique traditions, history, cultural heritage and natural beauties and it is slowly becoming one of the most popular tourist destinations in Croatia.

In a deep bay on the northern side of the island, in 397 BC, Dionysus the elder, general and tyrant of Syracuse, then the strongest state in the Greek world, founded the first Greek colony on the eastern coast of the Adriatic. But the history of the island goes back far into the past. Greek historian The Opompus (died in 323 BC) writes that the Ionian Sea (i.e. the Adriatic) got its name from Ionios, “an Illyrian from Issa who once ruled over these realms”; his figure is shown on the first coin of the colony of Issa, with a dolphin, symbol of the sea, on the reverse.

In the relatively narrow Dracevo polje, or plain, on Vis, a regular orthogonal division of the land has been noticed – characteristic of the Greek division of land – and the same thing must have existed in Velo polje, until an aerodrome was built there in World War II. Before it switched from Greek to Roman rule, Issa had already established its own colonies on the mainland: Tragurion (Trogir), Epetion (Stobrec near Split) and on the neighboring island of Korcula, in Lumbarda, Korkira Melaina.

During the civil war fought between Pompey and Caesar, the Issa polis chose the losing side of Pompey, and in 46 BC it lost its independence, becoming oppidium civium Romanorum, and was administratively dependent on Salona. At the time of Roman rule Issa did, however, develop and a theater, temple, a forum and thermae were built there. When Salona became the Roman capital of the province, Issa was left on the periphery of events, and was known only for the high quality of its wine.

At the beginning of the 2nd century BC, Greek historian and geographer Agatharchides (author of a geography and history of Europe in 10 volumes) wrote that there was no better wine in the world than that of Issa.

Island of Vis - split excursions 2

Vis has always been an island of fishermen and winegrowers. Komiza on the island of Vis is considered the cradle of fishing in the Adriatic, and in times gone by, the Komiza fishermen where well known in all Mediterranean harbours as experts in their field.

Today the Fishing Museum in Komiza shows the famous history of the Vis fishermen. The most famous authentic white wine is definitely the famed Vis Vugava, which you can try in numerous restaurants and cellars on the island. Vugava is a high quality and potent wine, golden yellow in color with a slightly bitter aroma that recalls honey. Today, Vis including Bisevo has about 700 ha of vineyards. Some biographers of James Joyce quote the writer as being fondest of drinking Plavac from Vis.

The climate on the island of Vis is Mediterranean, and since it is located on the open sea, the minimum temperature on the island is always few degrees higher than on the mainland or other islands. Thanks to its climate the island of Vis is one of the best locations in Croatia for growing lemons and other citruses .

Split to Vis / Vis to Split

It was great that it was summer, so you could walk outside and watch te sea and area. We also saw dolphins. The cafe is extremely expensive. At ferry the staff wasn't extremly kind but at catamaran they were soooo polite and friendly! Catamaran is also faster so I recommend it.

We were foot passengers and found the check in process really easy. We reserved seats and the seats were comfortable and we had plenty of space, although some of the seats around us looked quite run down. After a (reasonably priced) drink at the bar we went to the restaurant to find it closed and it remained closed for almost the duration of the journey! There were no signs on the door to give us an indication of when/ if it would be reopening and the staff didn't seem to know enough English to communicate with us either. With the shop closed too my partner and I were left hungry for the duration of the trip. The restaurant opened about 90 mins before we arrived at the destination.

I don't appreciate going into a bolking office as customer and being spoken to by rude staff. Having booked ferry tickets 2 days in advance and told Catamaran would leave from pier 6, on departure day this was not the case. Went into the main booking office to enquire where to locate the ferry only to be abruptly told I was lying about the departure being at pier 6 and the ferry was leaving at berth 11. The staff need to learn better manners when dealing with the public.

We had difficulty getting information from the company about their actual way of functioning. In the end, we chose a date and a time for our trip (4 persons in a car). Only after having bought the online ticket I again asked for details and received the following answer: "Since boarding is based on arrival order and due to the summer season, it is recommended that you be at port up to 3 hours prior departure to board at your chosen schedule."... So, even though we had chosen our ticket departing from a specific time we were then said to be in line, in the car (at least one of us!), under the sun (!), 3 hours before the time of our intended departure (with no guarantee that we would board on the time we chose when we bought the ticket!). Even though Jadrolinija provides great ferry services to Croatian ports and islands, I suppose customers already deserve a better treatment from them.

We took the car ferry from Split to Hvar which is 2 hours. Amazing scenery on route. We had a small Polo and with the smaller cars they do challenge you to go down in the hull which is a little scary for the driver but okay. There is limited space when parked to move around the vehicles (certainly when full). There are limited facilities onboard, small café which does hot and cold drinks but limited food options. We didn't use the toilets but there are only a couple for large amount of passengers. There is a lot of seating but we found some unreasonable people were lying on the indoor chairs so taking up a lot of space. Cost was 400 KN for a car and 2 passengers which we didn't find unreasonable. Recommend getting to the port at least 1-1.5 hours before the crossing as when arriving in Split the signage isn't as clear as it could be and you want to have time

Thought we’d take the boat instead of the coach. It was a beautiful calm day so was a great trip and the coastline and islands were really spectacular. The only downside was the early sailing stops at three islands (great to see in a way) so the published time is nearly six hours which is about two more than the later sail and did start to drag a bit. If you’re not bothered about getting there early I suggest the later sail as two hours is quite a bit quicker. At least with the boat you can move around to stretch your legs and to be fair the cafe wasn’t at all expensive. I would have given it 4 stars but we were an hour late which was rather mystifying considering it was a sensationally calm sea and it wasn’t particularly busy. Worked out about £52 which was okay I guess.

Israel-Gaza latest: Hamas responds to ceasefire proposal - as Netanyahu casts doubt on deal

Joe Biden announced a surprise plan with three phases: the first would be a six-week ceasefire, the second the return of remaining hostages, and the third a reconstruction plan for Gaza. We'll be bringing you all the reaction to this throughout the day.

  • Analysis: Israel seemed blindsided by Biden announcement
  • Live reporting by Emily Mee

We will be focusing on our general election coverage tomorrow, but we'll be back with more live updates on the Israel-Hamas war next week. 

Models Bella and Gigi Hadid are collectively donating one million dollars (£785,000) to support relief efforts, according to their agent. 

The money will go to Heal Palestine, Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF), World Central Kitchen (WCK), and United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).

The sisters have frequently been vocal in their support for Gaza, and their father Mohamed Anwar Hadid is himself Palestinian. 

After Hamas's 7 October attack on Israel, Gigi, 29, offered her condolences to those affected.

"My thoughts are with all those affected by this unjustifiable tragedy, and every day that innocent lives are taken by this conflict - too many of which are children," she wrote on Instagram.

"I have deep empathy and heartbreak for the Palestinian struggle and life under occupation, it's a responsibility I hold daily."

She added: "While I have hopes and dreams for Palestinians, none of them include the harm of a Jewish person."

Bella, 27, said in May that she was "devastated at the loss of the Palestinian people and the lack of empathy coming from the government systems worldwide".

The United Nations food agency has said it is unable to feed most civilians in the southern Gaza city of Rafah. 

Only 27,000 people in Rafah are currently being reached by the World Food Programme (WFP), according to its local director Matthew Hollingworth. 

Roughly one million Palestinians are living in the area, many of them displaced from other parts of Gaza. 

"The sounds, the smells, the everyday life are horrific and apocalyptic," Mr Hollingworth told journalists. 

"People sleep to the sounds of bombing, they sleep to the sounds of drones, they sleep to the sounds of war, as now tanks roll into parts of central Rafah, which is only kilometers away. And they wake to the same sounds." 

A ceasefire proposal consisting of three phases has been outlined by Joe Biden. 

What do those phases entail, what have Israel and Hamas said about the plan and how does it compare to the last proposal?

Read more below...

The French president has backed the ceasefire proposal set out by Joe Biden last night. 

Emmanuel Macron said he supported the proposal for "a durable peace" and that the war "must end". 

France is also working with partners in the region on "peace and security for all", he said. 

A high-level official has said Egypt is undertaking "intensive efforts" to "resume negotiations" for a ceasefire and hostage deal, according to a report. 

The official, quoted by Al-Qahera TV, said this was "in light of the recent American proposition". 

Last night, Joe Biden detailed a ceasefire and hostage deal proposal that he said Israel had put to Hamas. 

However, Israeli officials have told our correspondents they were "blindsided" by the announcement. 

If it works, then this will be a smart and cunning diplomatic move.

If it doesn't then President Joe Biden will look foolish.

He knows the huge risk of once again being taken for a ride by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Few knew that he was due to make this announcement.

Read more from our US correspondent Mark Stone below...

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has said 33 of its employees have been killed in Gaza since the war began. 

Of those, it said 19 were killed "while performing their humanitarian duties". 

The organisation today buried Mohammed Jihad Abed, an employee in the disaster risk management department. 

He was killed in an Israeli attack on his home in Rafah last night. 

American, Egyptian and Israeli officials will be meeting tomorrow in Cairo to discuss the reopening of Gaza's Rafah crossing, according to a report. 

Egypt is insisting that Israel withdraw its forces from the crossing, a high-level source told Egypt's state-linked Al Qahera TV. 

Israel seized the Gaza side of the crossing last month during its offensive in the city of Rafah. 

Earlier this week, a member of Egypt's security forces was killed in a shooting incident near the Rafah crossing.

An Egyptian soldier stationed on a watchtower had reacted to seeing an armoured vehicle carrying Israeli troops cross a boundary line near the border while the soldiers pursued and killed several Palestinians, two Egyptian security sources told Reuters news agency. 

The soldier opened fire and Israeli forces fired back, killing him, the sources said, sparking an exchange of gunfire between the two sides. 

The British prime minister has praised the proposed ceasefire deal set out by Joe Biden, saying it is "welcome news". 

Rishi Sunak said he hopes Hamas "takes this opportunity to take this deal that is on the table, [and] that would ensure hostages can be released and be back with their families". 

He also expressed hopes to "flood Gaza with far more aid than has been getting in" and to "use that pause in the fighting to build a sustainable and lasting peace". 

Mr Sunak joins a growing group of world leaders expressing support for the deal, which will only put more pressure on Israel and Hamas.
