Vis is surrounded by beautiful islands Brusnik, Sv. Andrija, Jabuka, Palagruža, some of which were also habitats of the Mediterranean monk seal.

A special attraction is the island of Biševo with a unique phenomenon on the Adriatic Sea, the famous Blue Cave, which is visited annually by tens of thousands of tourists. The Blue Cave is a rare example of natural beauty, a very small and low entrance from the sea (about 1.5 meters), so during the south wind entry is dangerous, sometimes even impossible.

Protected geomorphological natural monuments of Stiniva Bay, the islet of Ravnik, and the Green Cave on Ravnik stand out from the sites outside the town, which are worth visiting. Be sure to visit the bays Stončica, Milna, and Zaglav with sandy beaches and the bay Srebrna with a pebble beach.
