Overview
Komiza is a picturesque fishing village located on the western coast of Vis Island in the Adriatic Sea. Cruise ships—typically small or expedition vessels—anchor offshore and tender passengers directly into the heart of town. Nestled at the foot of Mount Hum, Komiza is known for its colorful harbor, 17th-century stone houses, and laid-back Mediterranean atmosphere. It’s a hidden gem for travelers seeking authentic Croatian coastal life.
The village retains its traditional character despite growing popularity, offering cobbled streets, local seafood, and access to stunning beaches. Komiza is also the launching point for excursions to the famous Blue Cave on nearby Bisevo Island. With its blend of history, nature, and island hospitality, Komiza provides a serene and culturally rich stop on Adriatic cruise itineraries.
Explore Croatia’s only museum dedicated to fishing, housed in a historic tower on the waterfront.
