About Komiža
Komiža is a fishing town on the west coast of Vis, with a sheltered harbour, pebble beaches and an easy, unhurried pace. A small fishermen’s museum fills a Venetian tower by the water, telling the story of the town’s seafaring past. Boats leave from the harbour for the island of Biševo and its Blue Cave, best visited on a calm, sunny morning when the light glows through the water. Linger afterwards for grilled fish on the waterfront as the boats come in.
