Vis Town  

At the end of the western part of the bay is "Gradina" hill which contains remnants of the Greek colony of Issa. Remnants of the walls that once surrounded the colony can still be seen. On the east and west sides of the slope are ancient necopolises and the remains of a Roman theatre are nearby.

Many of the archaeological finds from Vis Island are exhibited in the Archaeological Museum. There's an assortment of pottery and jewellery from the Greek and Roman periods but the most precious object is a 4th century bronze head of a Greek goddess.

All of Vis' sights can be appreciated in a short walk along the bay. A little further on are the beaches: Parja, Rogacic, Mala and Vela Svitnja.
