Backed by the majestic Biokovo mountains and where the River Cetina meets the clear Adriatic Sea, Omis is a pleasant market town located between Split and Makarska and an ideal base from which to explore the Cetina Gorge where hiking, mountaineering and rafting on the river are popular pastimes.
The town’s well-preserved 16th century fortress affords spectacular views from its hilltop vantage, a tiny 10th century church is theoldest surviving structure and the town’s main claim to fame is as the centre of Dalmatia’s pirate history and folk music (klapa), with an annual folk festival held each summer. The main beach is long and partly sandy with shallow waters and a selection of watersports, and there are some excellent riverside restaurants serving delicious freshwater fish specialities.
