Villa Kamenica

Posted by MissVicky 9 July 2008

A set of fabulous self-catering apartments owned and run by Tomislav (Tomo) and Zeljka Radic in the heart of Komiza on Vis. The apartments are all of a high standard and have outdoor space, whether it is a balcony or part of the garden. The garden is beautifully kept, giving a scent of lavender and citrus fruits each evening.

Three minutes' walk from a lovely beach, Villa Kamenica is about five minutes' walk to the centre of Komiza and a stone's throw from a couple of great restaurants. Tomo and Zeljka will give you the warmest welcome and offer fantastic advice for eating out, exploring the island, walks, beaches to visit, Croatian culture and history. Everything in Komiza is accessible from here.

info@villa-kamenica.hr
Ferry from Split to Vis (about 1.5 hrs). Bus from Vis Town (next to ferry terminal) to Komiza (about 0.5 hour). Tomo will meet you once arrival is confirmed on email.

Avoiding Bar Lembik!

Posted by calamity23 14 September 2007

Just got back from a few days on Vis Island, it's very beautiful but I found the locals quite unfriendly and, at times, hostile towards tourists.

No idea why this is, as I spent time in both Split and Hvar and didn't encounter the same attitudes.

In particular- avoid Bar Lembik by the harbour in Kut, the waiter there told me they had sold out of local beer and served me a Heineken instead -more expensive than local beer. Moments later he brought out local beers for his friends, when I questioned him about this he replied 'domestic beers are for domestic customers only'!

Also the staff at Ionios Travel agency were rude and unhelpful when I took the bike back that I'd hired for a day - after the brakes failed! After much argument they reluctantly agreed to give me 1/2 the money back.

The staff at Navigator travel agency were very helpful though and helped to arrange accommodation and boat trips.

Vis

Posted by BaileyCat 7 August 2006

Vis Island is a real jewel, one of the last unspoiled islands in the Adriatic. The seas are azure, the beaches pristine and secluded, the local cuisine is delicious and the whole island relaxes and enchants you from the minute you arrive. We rented a three bedroom stone house just seconds from the pretty crescent riviera in the centre of Vis Town, and had a wonderful week exploring the island. The townhouse was a charming, well-run little place in a perfect location - and it was also startlingly good value (£500/week for six people). Recommended!

The blue cave, Bisevo

Posted by AbbaZabba 2 August 2006

The blue cave on the small island of Bisevo, not far from Vis. At midday, sunlight enters the cave through a submarine opening and makes the water glow the most beautiful shade of blue.
