The Dalmatia region
The World Organisation for the Environment Protection, declared the island of Vis as one of the ten most environmentally preserved islands on the Mediterranean and one of the long living historical but also mysterious places on the Adriatic . . .
"The remote Croatian island of VIS is . . . as beautiful as Capri before the tourists. Despite its picture postcard Mediterranean beauty, its olive groves and vines, its ancient ruins and deserted beaches, it has virtually no tourists. It seems the only foreigners who have discovered it are those who arrive on the glamorous Italian and Austrian yachts that moor here in the evening." . . . Conde Nast Traveler
“Vis is poised to become the next "it spot" for sun and fun on the Adriatic . . . you'll be rewarded with deserted beaches, fascinating culture, exotic cuisine, and the satisfaction of "discovering" a fabulous, off-the-beaten-path island destination.” . . . ShermansTravel
Over 5000 years of history and hidden from the world for centuries, time has slowed on VIS. The Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Slavs, Venetians, Austrians, French and British have all left their impression on VIS. Today the rich colours of the pristine waters, the virgin landscape and the traditional villages still speak of centuries gone by.

Guestbook for Villa Tempera
Everything has been wonderful, not only the house (perfect location, perfect house) but our hosts, and all the help they provided through cleaning and contact services on the island. Everyone was so good. They made us feel at home from the very first moment, so we were able to relax and enjoy from minute one of our arrival. We are only sorry that eventually we had to leave. . . Brian, Patricia and Cole, American
