Omiš, a historic town on Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast, lies just twenty - five kilometres from Split and is surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, and dramatic mountains. Known for its pirate history and medieval fortresses, it also offers stunning beaches and a vibrant water - sports scene, thanks to its position on the River Cetina.

Adventure seekers flock here for canyoning, rafting, canoeing, and zip - lining across the canyon, while the nearby mountains appeal to hikers and paragliders. Families can relax on Velika Plaza’s sandy stretch in the town centre, or visit the nearby pebble beaches of Brzet and Slavinj. Further along the coast, Blue Flag beaches toward Makarska or Split provide even more options, along with island - hopping excursions to Brač, Hvar, and Šolta.

Omiš is also rich in culture. Climb to the Mirabella or Starigrad fortresses for panoramic views, or visit the Mila Gojsalič statue viewpoint. The town’s pirate past is brought to life with summer events like Pirate Night and Pirate Weekend, perfect for families. For a slower pace, head to St Michael’s Square for relaxed cafés and dining.

With easy access to Split and Makarska, Omiš is a superb base for discovering the best of the Dalmatian Coast.
