It covers an area of 395 km2. It's the largest island among the 4 Split islands. At the same time, it's the third-largest island in the Adriatic Sea.
This island is the highest in the Adriatic Sea. The highest point of the island is called Vidova Gora (mountain) with its 778 m. The name means in Croatia – a viewpoint, from where there is an unforgettable view of the Adriatic sea and islands.
It abounds with numerous bays and beaches on both sides of the island. The most important settlements on the island are Supetar, Postira, and Sutivan, all facing the Split town. Milna, on the eastern point of the island, looks at Solta island.

Vis island is the outmost island of the Central Dalmatia archipelago. It's 71 km (44 miles) away from Split town and 150 km from the Italian coast, surrounded by small islands and islets.
Vis is like a trapezoid; the longest longitudinal line, connecting east and west, is 17km long, and the one connecting north with south, 8km. The area of the island is 90 square kilometers.
I've added two maps of this island to see two big island bays with two island settlements, Vis, the capital, and Komiza village. On the second Vis island Split Dalmatia islands map, you can see a small Bisevo island with its famous magical Blue Cave.
