All about Croatia

Omiš is a small town and port at the mouth of the Cetina River in the littoral of Poljica, 26 km southeast of Split. Major attractions include quality accommodation facilities, good traffic connections, gastronomic offer (the hinterland of Omiš is famous for wholesome foods) and the Cetina canyon - Zadvarje - Gubavica. In the vicinity is also the well-known restaurant in Radmanove Mlinice (water mills), which offers local specialities. Omiš is known as a mediaeval pirate centre.

Picturesque mountains and the river enclose the urban core with fortresses. On the coast are an almost 1-km long sand beach (ideal for children) and the 700-m long shallow, created by the Cetina drifts.

The famous Cetina River and its canyon, nearby mountain tops and islands, ancient vineyards and olive plantations, small fishermen villages together form the landscape of extraordinary beauty.

Without any doubt, the Cetina River is one of the most beautiful places in Croatia for freshwater kayaking white water rafting. It is situated in a luscious region surrounded by quaint little villages and is very important, both historically and archaeologically, and is definitely the place to go for. Omis has it all. Numerous beaches and bays, rich vegetation, fresh air and crystal blue sea make Omis Riviera the perfect place to escape the stress and rush of modern life.

At the summer you can enjoy in traditional Festival of the Dalmatian a Capella songs and “pirates evening”. Omiš is also known as old pirate town. As excellent seamen, Omiš citizens, during 13th - beginning of 15th century, “supervised” navigation on the Adriatic Sea, endangering, generally, Venetian ships and their property in Dalmatian, as well as ships of Naples Kingdom. In that name people from there, and of the June organise “Pirates evening” for them self’s and tourist .It is very attractive and interesting with lot of fun.

To find nice beaches people from Rijeka have to go to nearest towns and villages. We heard it is very nice to take a walk in Kostrena now,altough it is not swimming season jet.

It is unusual town by the sea, because its centre is placed in inland and pretty far from sea, and it is advisable to find beaches using a car or a bicycle.

Like most towns in Kvarner Riviera, Kostrena also has "lungomare" – small walking road just by the sea, providing views to Rijeka, Učka mountain and islands Krk and Cres. The coast is full with small bays, hidden behind big white stones making beautiful contrast with rich blue sea.

Long tradition in tourism is visible on each step: stone made steps are leading to almost each bay, restaurants, coffee bars as well as private houses are almost invisible from the trees, leaving privacy and romance untouched.
