Senko's

Vis Island


For a special slow-food meal bordering on a performance, see if you can catch Senko Karuza, the local star poet, philosopher, bon vivant and chef, on a good day. He cooks up mean seafood meals at his house perched over Mala Travna bay. Call ahead to see if he's in the mood to have you over.
