Vis
Head to Vis, one of the best hidden gems in Croatia. The island was closed to tourists for 50 years while it served as a military base. As a consequence, it lies completely unspoilt having not seen the same degree of development as other areas of the country.
Vis Island is one of the most captivating destinations to visit on a Dalmatia cruise, with its wild coastline home to dazzling beaches with crystal clear waters and pebbled shores. You’ll also be able to visit the Blue Cave, which just happens to be one of the best things to do in Croatia.
