History
The furthest-out inhabited Croatian island town, closed to foreigners during Yugoslavia and now the most authentic old port on the Adriatic. Ancient Greek Issa sat on the same bay in the 4th century BC.
“Because it was a Yugoslav naval base until 1989, Vis missed the mass-tourism boom that reshaped nearby Hvar.”
