Another gorgeous video snapshot of summer in Croatia, this time from the island of Vis on August 1, 2016.

Moving along on our series of finding the best beaches, today we bring you Vis: perhaps the most beautiful island on the Adriatic.

An island that is furthest from the main islands on the Dalmatian coast, which it is best to reach with your private boat. Much of Vis’ recent history was spent serving as a military base for the Yugoslav National Army, completely closed off from foreign visitors from the the 1950’s-1989. The upside to this? Vis was kept from being developed, essentially erasing the carbon footprint, driving the population to other areas. What this means for us? Vis is pristine, raw, and kept in its most natural forms, and today we bring you sandy beaches, pebbled ones, and even an award winner. Here are the 5 best beaches on Vis.

Thought Croatian islands are all the same? Continuing the popular TCN series, 25 Things to Know about Croatia, on June 26, 2016, a look at the great choice and diversity on offer on Croatia's more than 1000 islands in the Adriatic. 

Alexander Dale Oen once said, “Nothing comes sailing by itself.” Although we do agree with Oen, we’d like to alter the statement a bit by saying, “Nothing comes sailing without the help of &adventure.”

This summer, visitors to the island of Vis will have a special opportunity to see a unique and rather whimsical exhibition titled Dreamland. The young Australian artist of Croatian origin who is responsible for this exhibition is Maya Kolega, having studied at the University of South Australia with a degree in Visual Arts. Kolega uses her artistic prowess to create and document images through photography and illustration, making her Dreamland exhibit a treat for your eyes.

Diving may not be suited for all, but for those that enjoy taking risks or even those open to trying something new, what better way to leap deep into the clear blues of the Adriatic than with Nautica Hvar Dive Center?

Adventure tourism is defined as exploration or travel with perceived (and possibly actual) risk, potentially requiring specialized skills and physical exertion. This type of tourism can include anything from kayaking to canyoning, mountain climbing to white water rafting, and essentially any thrill seeking activity in between. One particularly wonderful thing about Dalmatia is our terrain, with rocky cliffs, a smooth Adriatic sea, gushing rivers, and makeshift hiking and cycling trails galore. Lucky for you, we've got one particularly perfect company to suit your stimulated appetite, and it’s &adventure.

TCN's popular series, 25 Things to Know about Croatia, continues on June 1, 2016 with a look at what there is on offer for that growing tourism sector - millennials.

If you want the perfect Mediterranean holiday but don't like loud parties, head to Vis.

First the best Christmas market in Europe (Zagreb), then the best European destination (Zadar) and now, on April 20, 2016, the best beach in Europe, according to European Best Destinations.
