The island

Vir Island lies only at a distance of 25 km from Vir, the capital of Dalmatia and at a distance of 400 km from the Hungarian border (at Barcs). The length of the island is 10,5 km, its width is 4,5 km, and it is connected to the land by a bridge that can be used free of charge. The name of the island comes from a former local Dalmatian word: ueru which means grazing field.

Vir Island is a newly discovered pearl of Croatia the investment opportunity of which suggests a wonderful future. The geographical position of the island is ideal because it is situated in the middle of the Croatian seaside and by that the temperature of both the air and the sea is excellent. The biology of the Adriatic Sea around the island is really variable: there is sea urchin, sea cucumber, crabs, various types of fish and plants.

The locality Vir can be found on the island. Its sandy seashores with small pebbles lure a lot of people here to have a rest. On the northern side of the island there is a calm bay and on its southern side it is surrounded by the open sea. On its northern part there is a wild life protection area, which provides opportunities for walks and diving.

There are not large hotels, the tourists hire apartment houses (link to the page of apartment houses for rent), houses with garden and private pension houses. There are a medical surgery, pharmacy, vegetable, fruit and fish market, restaurants, cafés and various shops in the village.

You can access into one of the national parks nearby if you drive an hour.

One of the most famous disco paradise of Croatia is Zrce, which is called Little Ibiza all over Europe. It can be accessed both on land and by ship.
