Continue to the Island of Vis, in the 4th century BC, one of the main Greek colonies. Vis is relatively under the radar for tourists. For a long time, it was in use as a naval base (until 1991).

If interested, visit the remains of the Roman Thermal Place, Town Museum or simply take a walk enjoying the views of the beautiful Villae Rusticae situated along the waterfront.
