A whole day dedicated to simplicity. Komiza, a small village on the western coast of the island of Vis, welcomes us with tranquility. The few people sitting at the café watch us as we listen to our guide tell us about life on an island that was kept hidden for years for military reasons and is now a true gem for a few tourists.
From the stone houses to the little church on the beach, Komiza stretches along the coastline in harmony. The island is of such natural richness and beauty that it deserves to be included in the UNESCO list as a Geopark. The Geopark, the guide explains, is that natural area where man is also an integral part. Practically a park where people live and work in harmony with what surrounds them. And defend it.
We crossed Vis to visit the defensive tunnels built during the Cold War. They are hidden structures that do not disturb the naturalness of the place. On the contrary, they add a certain charm to this island, invisible for years and years. A ghost island in the blue of the Adriatic Sea.
