Omiš sits at a striking spot where the Cetina river flows into the sea, just about 25 km from Split. The town was once a feared pirate stronghold on the Croatian coast, and its medieval fortifications still watch over it today – the Mirabela and Starigrad fortresses, perched on steep cliffs, offer a breathtaking view of the river mouth and the open sea. Below the fortresses stretches the long sandy-pebble town beach, a favourite with families with children. Above all, though, Omiš is synonymous with adventure tourism – the Cetina canyon is the perfect place for rafting, zipline and canyoning, among the most sought-after activities in all of Dalmatia. The wild beauty of the Cetina canyon, with its waterfalls and turquoise water, draws adventurers from around the world, while the town itself keeps a calm Mediterranean atmosphere. Omiš thus combines a relaxed seaside holiday with active fun in nature. We offer a wide choice of apartments and private accommodation direct from the owners, with no commission. Weather in Omiš
