Lissa's Home

Vis is the most distant island of the Dalmatia Islands. It has 13 inhabited settlements, the largest being Vis and Komiza. Due to its north-southward thrust and its geological structure, there are considerable climatic differences between the northern and the southern parts of the Adriatic coast. The prevailing northerly, the bora, can also produce big differences in temperature. Sea temperatures generally range between 12o C in February and 25o C in August. Although frost is rare in this part of the world, short periods of cold weather with snowfall are not uncommon in the northern part of the coast. 

The area is know for its spectacular scuba diving, and the best season is early summer before it gets too hot.
