Vis
For our next stop our faithful Gulet Andi anchored off the island do Vis. There were two towns we visited here, the town of Vis, and on the opposite side the town of Kmoviča.
We disembarked at Vis, but we immediately took a taxi over to Kmoviča to check out the opposite side first. Our highlight here was the swim that we had atone of their rocky beaches. Wade about 50 into the water and you’ll have a view of a centuries old church, red-tile roofed houses climbing the hillside, a small harbor where fishermen untangle their nets ansa dock where sailors stop to take a break from the sea. The water has been pretty cold most of the trip since it’s pretty early I the season, but we’re definitely feeling things warm up as the weather stays hot and we move north.
Back in Vis we walked around d a little more. This is a Great town and we Would definitely have liked to spend more time here. Instead of a marina or mooring field for boats, the sailboats here back right up to the Main Street which runs along the waters edge, so if you walk down the main drag you have shops, restaurants and sidewalk cafes on one side, and rows of boats on the other with sailors and crew lounging and drinking on their decks and cockpits.
This island also has an attraction called the “blue cave” which we opted not to because of our limited time, but it’s worth looking into if you ever find yourself here.
That evening on the boat we had our dinner prepared on board rather than eating out in tow. We dubbed this the “Captains dinner”, and Iviča sat and ate with us. Ivan slaved away in his teeny tiny kitchen all afternoon prepared seafood three ways for us, fried calamari, octopus salad, and pan fried whole sea bass (and/or some similar Mediterranean delicious fish).
