Vis Island, Croatia's most remote inhabited island, was a military base closed to tourists until 1989, leaving its underwater world remarkably preserved. The Blue Cave on neighboring Bisevo is a natural wonder where sunlight creates an ethereal blue glow, and nearby WWII wrecks include a B-24 Liberator bomber and various military vessels. The Adriatic's clearest waters combine with outstanding Croatian cuisine and wine to create a complete Mediterranean diving experience.
