Along with our regular columns and the diaspora stories of families with ancestral roots on the island of Vis and in the Kvarner Bay region, this issue shares the Book Month fever and offers a bevy of book promos covering diaspora themes.
The second last of this year’s issues of the Croatian Heritage Foundation’s Matica magazine features the island of Vis, which some say has the greatest concentration of natural monuments in Europe. Settled by the ancient Greeks it offers abundant characteristic flavour and the fruits of land and sea.

This issue’s cover features the Artemis head kept at the Archaeological Museum in Vis.
