There are not many cities in the world that count their history in thousands of years, but Omiš is one of them!
Omiš is a picturesque town with a true Mediterranean atmosphere, located at the mouth of the Cetina River, only 21 km from the largest Dalmatian city, Split. The river Cetina with its magnificent canyon, which at this point cut through the colorful mountain massif in the hinterland of the city, and the kilometer-long sandy beach, make this part of the Adriatic coast exceptional and incomparable. Due to its unique location, surrounded by steep cliffs, the Cetina river and the sea, the city of Omiš can really be proud of its special features, which amaze, conquer and which you will be happy to return to.
