The fishing village of Vitt lies on the German Baltic Sea island of Rügen, more precisely on the Wittow peninsula near Cape Arkona. The village is part of the municipality of Putgarten. Because of its location in a coastal gully on the cliffed coast, called Liete, Vitt is not visible from afar. However, from the edge of the gully there is a view over the thatched roofs of the village. It is a popular tourist destination; often described as "the most romantic place on Rügen". The Marco Polo guide rates it as one of the top 15 highlights on the island of Rügen.
The name Vitt is derived from the word Vitte/Witte . Actually Vitt was only a temporarily occupied Vitte from the outset where fish that had been caught were processed . The name could however also come from Vit, a common Slavic name , or witt for "white" because of its white houses.
