The small town of Omiš is located on the Dalmatian coast, half an hour south of Split, at the mouth of the Cetina river where it flows into the Adriatic sea, surrounded by towering gorges.
Famous locally as a one time pirate's haven, the town is a popular adventure holiday destination thanks to its unusual geography. You can zipline across the gorge, go white water rafting and canyoning, and enjoy other activities like sea kayaking, diving, climbing and hiking.
There are a number of cafes, bars and restaurants around the old town and near the public beach where you can eat mouthwatering fresh seafood.
While you are in the area a visit to Split (Croatia's second largest city) is highly recommended and you can also visit the nearby islands of Brac and Hvar for a day out.
