This pretty island is not somewhere Brits often head to but it could be the perfect place for your summer holiday this year. Vis in Croatia is a peaceful destination where you can enjoy island life without the crowds.

Vis gained fame as the filming location for Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, adding to its allure and making it a sought-after destination for travellers and film-fans alike. It remains unspoiled due to its location, making it a prime spot for a relaxing holiday. The hidden gem is known for its crystal-clear waters, unspoiled beaches, and laid-back feel.

While you’re there, you can visit its stunning beaches such as Stiniva and Srebrna, as well as the nearby Blue Cave on Biševo Island. 

One person who visited Stiniva Cove wrote on Tripadvisor: “A must-see beach to visit while on Vis. 

“We hired an island boat tour and got here before the place filled with boats. You either come via boat and swim or get a small dingy into a tiny cove or have a fair walk down from the hills above.”

The reviewer said the beach is a beautiful and secluded place with a bar and a pebble beach to enjoy the sun while not swimming.

Vis is also known for its exceptional food scene featuring fresh seafood, local olive oil, and unique wines.

For history lovers, you can explore ancient Greek and Roman ruins, Fort George, and the Archaeological Museum. 

Or, if you’re a more adventurous outdoors type, there are a range of activities like hiking, cycling, kayaking, and snorkeling.

The best way to get to Vis is from Split which has the most frequent travel options.

From London, it is a two and a half hour flight to Split and it would be a great addition to your trip to see the city too before heading out to Vis.

If you’re looking for a peaceful and scenic holiday this year, Vis could be the perfect place to visit this summer.
