Omis is away from major tourist destinations in Croatia and yet it is certainly one of the most beautiful destinations in this country. Located only a 40 minutes’ drive from the very touristy city of Split, Omis is one of the hidden gems of Croatia. The easiest way to get there is to book your flights to Split and rent a car.The picturesque town of Omiš (Almissa) was built right on the mouth of the river Cetina. Heart of the homonymous Riviera, it is surrounded by many small fishing villages and beautiful beaches. In spite of its small size, this territory offers numerous historical and cultural assets of great interest: churches ranging from X to XVIII century, monuments, fortresses, museums and much more. Those who love active vacations couldn't have chosen better: Omiš offers rafting on the Cetina River, free climbing, paragliding, scuba diving, sailing, beach volleyball, tennis, etc. The ancient Roman cities of Split and Salona are just a half hour's drive from Omiš, and the enchanting islands of Central Dalmatia are also not far away. Among the most attractive cultural events are the Omiš Summer of Culture, the Festival of Dalmatian Klapas, the Evening of Privateers and other religious festivals.
