Cetina River - Croatia

The small coastal town of Omiš sits between Split and Makarska in a nook surrounded by an impressive canyon.

What was once used as safe passage for Almissa pirates, a beautifully calm river, which meets the sea, crosses throughout the town and also happens to be the longest in Dalmatia at 101 kilometers.

Be sure to bring your walking shoes! There’s much to see and explore throughout Omiš from its turbulent history, its natural beauty and activities for the thrill-seekers.

The Mirabella and Fortica Fortress is an unmissable 13th Century structure located at the base of the canyon which marked an important strategic point for the Balkans and Europe during the Ottoman Empire. A climb up to the top of Fortica is well worth the effort just for the exceptional views alone.

Spend the day exploring the town's beaches, historic sites and lush parkland before securing the perfect spot atop a mountain peak captivated by the beautiful sunset across the Cetina canyon.
