We continue our sailing to Vis town and anchored right outside the church. The island Vis is one of the most special island in Croatia.

Vis is also known as “Mamma Mia” island, where the movie Mamma Mia 2 – Here we go again, was filmed. Most of us think that this movie is filmed in Greece, but it`s not. We saw a lot of locations we remember from the movie. Here is the view we had from the boat. Vis town is to the right in the bay. Raniya…
