The name Queen's cave is connected to the legendary Illyrian Queen Teuta who ruled in the 3rd-2nd centuries BC. Archaeological excavation took place in the cave on two occasions, but it has never been fully archeologically examined. The results show that the cave was temporarily inhabited during the late Stone Age (Neolithic), and much more frequently during the Bronze age, particularly in its early phases. Its beauty makes this cave a precious geological and archaeological jewel of Vis island.

A mere stroll throughout the harbours Komiza or Vis instantly leads to more demanding mobility, hiking or bicycling some of the numerous tracks and roads in the central parts of the island, where fascinanting landscapes easily quicken one's adventurous inclinations.

On Vis island there are six marked mountain paths. The hills of Vis are highest in the western part of the island (Hum, 587 m). Between them are karst fields, since ancient times planted with olive groves and vineyards of renowned varieties. The geographical location of Vis has enabled appereance of a large number of endemic families, both plant and animal, whereas the historic conditions helped their relatively fine conservation.

The forests and the land under macchia, the rocks and the coastline karrens make typical island habitats to hunderts of most diverse plant species. Many of them are aromatic, medicinal, seasoning and honey-producing, some again very rare and categorised as endangered island species.
