Hellenistic Port

The name of Host refers to the isle located at the entrance to the Vis Bay and comes from the British officer William Hoste, who contributed to defeat the French navy during the Battle. As a result of hitting the rocks, there must have sunk more than one ship in this place.

In front of the entrance to the Vis Bay there are several small islets. Among these there are Volići, which consist of two isles that surface to one meter, Volić Veli and Volić Mali. On Volić Veli, located further from the island of Vis Isle, there is a lighthouse.

Nova Pošta consists of a tunnel, a cavern, and a funnel (chimney) on the northernmost peninsula of the island of Vis. Your boat will be moored in the calm, lovely, wind-safe bay.

The steeply sloping wall continues under the water, and on the extension of the cape there is a characteristic hump, the end of which is about 50 m away from the coast, the walls drop below 50 m deep, and the deepest peak is about 45 m below sea level.

Not far west of the Punta Covika headland, there are two dive sites with a steeply sloping cliff. Both are located on the same stretch of the underwater rock, but offer different attractions. A shallower variant, up to 20-25 meters, is called Žali Potok. The dive is done with your right hand against the wall.

This is a small islet that can be swum around during a single dive. Besides numerous fish, you will see a few ancient amphorae. Amphoras are found from 14 to 37 meters in depth.

A 50-meters long cave with an entrance (and exit) at the depth of 18 m and a thermocline and halocline inside. In the very end of the cave above halocline there is air bubble.

Through the northern part of the island of Vis leads a gravel-stony road, which directs to the abandoned village of Oključna, from where visitors can drive, using an off-road car, to a bay (one of the few in this part of the island) known under the same name.

On the northwestern edge of Vis, a few hundred meters south of the lighthouse on the Stončica peninsula, a small island – Pločica, rises a few meters above the sea. On the north side of the spot there is a buoy where a dive boat usually moors.

Located close to Rukavac and accessible by boat and car diving site consists of a system of 6 caverns, which differ in shapes and sizes, but all are covered by colorful sponges and inhabited by various nocturnal animals.
