The romantic islands of Vis and Korčula
Vis and Korčula are the perfect romantic islands for lovers of picturesque shores, clear waters and pristine beaches. The blue waters surrounding these Croatian islands are perfect for refreshing dives and snorkeling adventures. The nightlife is lively and the local restaurants offer delicious dishes.
The island of Vis
On the south side of the island of Vis, you can anchor ashore in an excellent and sheltered spot and enjoy the peace and quiet. Komiža (on the west side of the island) and the town of Vis (to the east) are very well known in the sailing world and are wonderful places to visit. The bay of Vis is the most sheltered and has many mooring buoys. We recommend the Pizzeria Karijola for dinner, where you can enjoy the perfect thin crust pizza with delicious wine, friendly service and a fantastic view of the bay of Vis.
The beautiful Korčula
Korcula is a relatively large island with several towns, the most famous of which is the town of Korčula. Its picturesque beauty is second to none: The city walls and Venetian architecture are unique and exceptional. Many romantic restaurants and bars are located between the beautiful old buildings. Stroll through the old town and enjoy the fantastic view of the sea and the almost one kilometer high Sveti llija mountain. To taste all the flavors of Croatia and enjoy a romantic evening, we recommend the Fundamentum restaurant.
