Adriatic Trip Day 18: Komiza, Croatia

Friday, June 27, 2025

The last full day of our tour brought us to two islands off the coast of Croatia, Vis and Bisevo. The Orion anchored just off the coast of the town of Komiza on Vis. Although there were several activity options for the day, most of us took the option of a tour to Bisevo island. The tour began with an exciting speedboat ride to the island, complete with rock music soundtrack, which we enjoyed greatly but some on our tour felt was excessive. Upon arriving at Bisevo, we navigated into a small sea cave, then to the island’s harbor. From there, we took a ride into the hills to a local winery where we were treated to a wine tasting and accompanying snacks. There was also a small ancient church nearby that we were able to explore.

Returning to the Orion by speedboat and zodiac, we had lunch, followed by some free time allowing us to explore the village of Komiza. There were a few small beaches and a church referred to as Our Lady of the Pirates (which was not open, unfortunately). We took a short stroll around the town before returning to the Orion. The cocktail hour featured pictures contributed by many of the other travelers on the cruise, which we were able to obtain a souvenir copy of. This was followed by the Captain’s Farewell Dinner, the last dinner of the cruise, and then packing for tomorrow morning’s departure.
