    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.

    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.

    The island Vis is still relatively new as a tourist destination.

    You can relax and take time out to recharge your batteries, the weather is beautiful and the water is warm to swim in.

    There are activities and tours to do on the water, otherwise just lie in the sun and enjoy the fantastic scenery around you.

    The fish is fresh as this is a fishing island, and the wine is from its own vineyards. Bread is home baked, and can be bought fresh every morning.

    Many people who do not know the Croatian culture could find the locals a little agressive in their manner, but it is not just with tourists but with each other, the idea is to not take it personally, and remember every country has its own way of interacting and communicating. Just go with the flow, after all you are on holiday, everything is an adventure.

    The Jadrolina ferry takes 3 hours

    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.
