Two days of offroad with local gastronomy, splash in the sea and exploring the abandoned military infrastructure Vis - the island of Stiniva bay, proclaimed the most beautiful beach in Europe, twice. And the island of long and turbulent history. A small island with a lot more than you would expect! Vis is the smallest and farthest inhabited island off the Croatian land. Because of its position in the Adriatic it had a turbulent history and always an important role, in any culture and politics. In Greek and later Roman times it was an important self-run colonia called Issa. Venetians, Austrians, French, British and the Italians all had battles around the island and a short time of having Vis in their possession. All because of its strategical position in the Adriatic, safe and closed harbor in Vis and fresh water springs all over the island. In the 20th century it became a shelter of another kind – during WW2 Tito, the president of the former socialist country of Yugoslavia was hiding in the cave in the middle of the island for months, creating the idea of Yugoslavia and all the military infrastructure he would build later. Today those abandoned structures are war monuments luckily never used for the purpose they were built for. More important and more impressive than military structures is the nature and the landscape. Vis has numerous pebble stone beaches, hidden coves, cliffs to jump from and a crystal clear sea, so clean you can eat the salt off your skin. All of the mentioned historical changes are visible on all sides of the island but on this tour we will explore the most recent and the most interesting ones – submarine tunnels, underground communication stations, canon stations guarding all sides of the island and we ride the WW2 airplane base. Give yourself a break from the regular touristic sites you would visit and let us show you more than you could imagine exists. This is a two day tour of light offroad ride around the island with a visit to abandoned military structures. Since Vis still has poor ferry line connections and it takes 2 and a half hour to get there, it is worth visiting in no less than 2 days.

Who is your Funmoto guide?
It all started from a will and curiosity of one professional guide. A wish to explore and discover. To see and share.˝Having long experience as a travel guide and a licensed tourist guide, I knew what is all there around us. So many beautiful places, cultural sites and absolutely breathtaking landscape in a small country such as Croatia. Traveling around by work I knew all the spots I wanted to get back to and visit on two wheels. The things I didn’t know I wanted to find out. The places I would find I would share with the people to spread the knowledge and to inspire them to go and see. To use the day, fill the life with knowledge and eyes with all the beauties there are. The more I would ride the more I would realize one life is not enough to get to see it all. But why not show to the world what we have here? I was riding so much and showing people around that there was already an assumption I was doing tours. Well, then it was about time to sum up all that I want to share in some meaningful units shaped in tours.

ITINERARY

Day 1

Our first stop is British fortress overlooking the entrance to the bay of Vis, then a ride to the military station guarding the approach from the north. Next we ride off road to the base in the west of the island in Barjoška to enter rifle nests and to walk through the underground tunnels. After a break in Komiža, a small picturesque fishermen place, we ride to Stupišće, the eastern base of Komiža. Both were built to protect Komiža in direction to Italy. Stupišće is the only base with three cannons still left in their position towards Italy. Next is the airplane base after which follows a gastronomical pleasure at the local family farmstead. There you will be served produces grown at the area, our most traditional dish called Peka and wine from the vineyard at the farmstead. That's not where the story ends – if you take a walk behind the house you will find a cave built as a refuge for the soldiers during the WW2. Later we go for planned accommodation or stay at the property and sleep in tents.

Day 2

Next day we ride for the top of Vis with a view to Komiža and sometimes all the way to Italy, if the weather is really clear. Then we ride to the underground communication center hidden on top the hill. We will walk the most part of the tunnels, if you are not claustrophobic. Not something you would find just riding around even if someone directed you to it. Next is pleasure time on the beach. After we relax we catch the ferry back to Split at given time.
