Omiš Travel Guide

A dramatic town at the mouth of the Cetina river canyon, where sheer cliffs plunge directly into the sea 30 km south of Split. Historically a feared pirate stronghold, Omiš today is a magnet for adventure tourism — whitewater rafting on the Cetina, zip-lining across the canyon, and rock climbing on limestone walls. The old town is guarded by two medieval fortresses perched on crags above, and the local beaches blend smooth pebbles with clear Adriatic waters.
