Mooring at Komiža port on the pier on one of the buoys moored along Komiža bay
Komiža is positioned in the deep-lying open port on the western coastline of the island of Vis and at the foot of nearly 600 meter high Mt. Hum. If anchoring in Komiža bay extra care is required due to rather strong winds descending from the surrounding hills into the bay. Those yachtsmen who moored on the buoy are allowed to take the mooring at the pier next morning, when other boats leave the port. The use of mooring, electric power and fresh water is included in the price of the buoy. Komiža amazes its visitors with narrow streets, attractive stone houses squeezed together along the harbor and numerous beaches. Along the entire eastern coast of Komiža bay there are many pebbly beaches with springs of fresh water. While visiting Vis, an excursion to Modra Špilja (Blue Cave) and/or Green Cave is a must. The best and the fastest option is to take a boat tour for both locations. Furthermore, Komiža is not only adored by yachting people but also by those who like diving, hiking, paragliding or other adventure sports since several agencies and diving centers offer different activities starting from Komiža.
