Vis is a magical island and perfect place to get away from the world and really feel like you are on vacation. The island has 2 main towns - Vis and Komiza, which are about 10km apart. We stayed in old Vis town, which was perfect - close to everything. We rented a car (an old fiat convertible!) and discovered the gorgeous secluded beaches - one was a steep hike down (totally worth it), and another was a down a windy gravel road (we wondered if the fiat would make it back up). Once you reach these beaches, there are only a few people - no americans - white rocks and sparkling blue water which is crystal clear. The scenery is outstanding.
The people of Vis are extremely nice, friendly, and relaxing. Everyone wishes you a happy vacation, and nobody bothers you or tries to sell you wares. The food is incredible, all fresh fish, eggplant, zucchini, olives and figs. Dave and Daniel had a difficult time deciding each night on either gelato or crepes. Each night, we found a new yummy place to eat either in Vis or nearby Kut. Strolling along the waterfront, you walk down ancient streets, past gorgeous sailboats with everyone hanging out on their deck, enjoying a cappuccino or crepe from a nearby street vendor.
