Why go

The furthest inhabited island from the Croatian coast, closed to foreigners as a military base until 1989 and still blissfully behind the times. Mamma Mia 2 was filmed here, but Vis remains more fishing net than film set. Stay in Komiža, take a boat to the glowing Blue Cave on neighbouring Biševo early to beat the queue, and eat lobster at a konoba where the day's catch decides the menu.
