Compact, humpy, and at first glance a little forbidding, Vis is situated further offshore than any other of Croatia's inhabited Adriatic islands. Closed to foreigners for military reasons until 1989, the island has never been overrun by tourists, and even now depends much more heavily on independent travellers than its package-oriented neighbours Brac and Hvar. Croatia's bohemian youth seem to have fallen in love with the place over the last decade, drawn by its wild mountainous scenery, two good-looking towns, Vis town and Komiza , and a brace of fine wines, including the white Vugava and the red Viski plavac. Ferries leave Split for the two-and-a-half-hour journey to Vis town once or twice daily all year, though in winter the trip can get mighty rough. From mid-May to mid-September there are daily hydrofoils from Split and Hvar Town. From Vis town, buses depart for Komiza on the western side of the island.
