The island of Vis is in the Split-Dalmatia region and is the farthest inhabited island in Croatia. It is a beautiful place with a mild Mediterranean climate that is ideal for growing delicious food and for establishing successful vineyards and a location right out in the open sea that has allowed a strong fishing culture to be born and maintained on the island. These two traits have also meant that Vis has been a popular tourist destination for a long time as well. With its gorgeous old buildings, pretty landscape, excellent restaurants, natural phenomena like the Blue Grotto, and amazing beaches, Vis has a lot to offer and is an ideal day-trip destination for those who have found a vacation rental in Split and are looking for something special to do during their stay in the area.

While Vis has plenty of charms and a good deal to see and do, her beaches are one of the most enduringly popular and appealing traits that keep people coming to experience it for themselves. There are plenty to choose from and they all benefit from the unspoiled nature of the landscape of Vis, the crystal-clear waters, and the tranquillity offered by the presence of considerably smaller tourist crowds compared to other parts of the Dalmatian Coast.     Read More

Croatia may not be the first destination that comes to mind when one thinks of an Autumn or Winter holiday but whether you are looking for a city break over a weekend or an extended vacation where you'll often still have warm weather later into the season and smaller crowds, it really is a great choice. There are lots of reasons to plan a trip: all of the events that take place during the harvest season and then in the run up to Christmas festivities, things are quieter and calmer, and prices are lower. So, why not plan a trip today?
