From Our Gallery

Vis Town

Meeting point is at Paiz office, located in the ferry port in Vis. If we agree differently we can come and pick you up on suggested place. Cold Military tunnels are so refreshing in a hot summer day.

Fort George

We'll be driving in an off-road vehicle/a jeep. First stop is Fort George, an English fortress from the 19th century. From here we'll have a great look on Parja bay and so-called „submarine tunnel Lobster“ .

Tunnel Lobster and banker Nova Pošta

Tunnel “Lobster” is built in the 80's as a new and more efficient method of defense. Next we'll see the defensive emplacements that protected the northern entrance to Vis harbor – four artillery batteries that were part of the defensive grid of the Adriatic. We'll also share with you some anecdotes told by former soldiers that were stationed here, to give you a glimpse in their everyday life.

ARK Vela Glava

Now we'll take a path less traveled, using the old military roads to reach ARK Vela Glava – nuclear shelter in the middle of the island. Here we'll have an unique experience of discovering one of the best kept secrets of the Cold War.

Mt. Hum

We'll take the break from gloomy tunnels by visiting the highest point of the island, where we'll enjoy in a stunning views of Komiža town, Biševo island, Svetac and Jabuka islet. Sometimes when is a good weather you can see an Italy from the top.

British airfield

On our return back to Vis town, we'll stop at the sightseeing point Križ, where we'll have an excellent view of Plisko poje and the former allied airfield, and we'll talk about British soldiers that were on the island of Vis and share with you their experiences.
