Café Bar Biliba is one of the most iconic local bars in Vis Town, with a history that goes back to 1988, when it first opened as one of the island’s early modern café bars. At the time, Vis had only recently begun opening up more to tourism after decades of being a closed military island, so Biliba quickly became a social hub for both locals and visitors.

From the beginning, it built a reputation as a “locals’ bar” — informal, lively, and a place where different generations and characters on the island would gather. Over the years, it has remained family-run, which is a big part of its identity and continuity.

In short, Biliba isn’t just a café — it’s one of those long-standing places that reflects how Vis has changed over time, while still holding on to its local character.
