Omis is a town settled in Southern Croatia, approximately 15 miles southeast of Split. This enchanting town is bounded by the east and north by the Cetina River, which passes through an impressive gorge to the center of a mini-riviera, spreading about 30 kilometers in length. Special boats called “arrows” used to patrol through the waters and quickly retreat into the mouth of the river. While it’s true that today you will not find any fast pirate travel ships, there are plenty of yachts available that cruise the waters of the Omis Riviera. Omis was once a famous pirate town with excellent seamen who navigated the Adriatic Sea. For over 400 years, the city was protected from these fierce pirates, until finally defeated in 1444 by the Turkish invasion. Besides the initial notoriety of being a pirate town, Omis has several sights that all testify to its rich history.
Before your boat excursions in Omis, you can visit various sights. The Starigrad Fortress was built in the 15th century as a primary defense structure against the Ottoman Empire. You can take spectacular walks from the fortress, which is located on the high peak of the mountain just above the old town. Strolling by the old town you will also see old stone houses, pretty lanes, the city museum, and some beautiful little churches. The Mirabella Fortress is another sight to behold over the historic old town, with wonderful views of the Cetina Canyon.
Once you have filled your day with the highlights of the city center, you can enjoy a boat trip from Omis for a completely different experience.
For a day trip, you can enjoy a scenic boat ride through the Cetina river. This excursion runs from the mouth of the river in Omis to the resort known as Radmanove Milnice. Here, you will be given the option to rent a small private boat and experience direct contact with nature. This is the most water-rich river in Dalmatia, with numerous fish, coots, wild ducks, and diverse flora and fauna.
