A bite of the great sea

A Bite of the Big Sea is a new two-day event in Komiža that has already shown with its first edition how much the island of Vis can offer when people, ideas and shared energy come together. Held on 17 and 18 July 2025, the event combined a fair of island products, a gastro show, concerts, a panel discussion and a children's fishing competition Little Game, making it a meeting place for tradition, creativity and sustainable tourism. The uniqueness of this event lay precisely in its shared spirit. In an extremely short time, a large number of people gathered, not only from Komiža but also from the entire island of Vis. With the great help of the Association of Craftsmen of the Island of Vis, the event showed the wealth of the island's offer - from food and wine to jewelry, cosmetics and various souvenirs. It was a real discovery of how much is created on the island and how much can be offered to visitors. A Bite of the Big Sea did not stop only at Komiža. On September 5, 2025, a special edition was held in the town of Vis – A Bite of the Great Sea: Vis edition – where the people of Komiža went “to visit” and created an unforgettable atmosphere again. That evening was just as wonderful, confirming that this project has the potential to grow into a recognizable tradition for the entire island. This event showed how food, music, conversation and socializing can connect people and strengthen the local community, while also promoting the best that the island of Vis has – authenticity, creativity and togetherness.
