Omis is a picturesque town of true Mediterranean atmosphere situated at the mouth of the Cetina river. It is the town where a famous festival of Dalmatian folk songs and melodies is held annually.

         Omis lies in the middle between famous tourist centers Split and Makarska. Its history has been tumultuous since ancient times; in the Middle Ages its unconquerable fortress was the refuge of Omis pirates.

         Nowdays it is the tourist center of a 35 km long riviera of outstanding beauty. Numerous monuments from its past are the witnesses of its history, long and glorious; besides these one can find nowdays an interesting and colourful market place, a large number of small restaurants, coffe shops, bistros, various shops including duty free ones and fashionable boutiques. All these will make your stay pleasant and fulfilled.

         Very good communications with the nearby Split and beautiful natural beaches of this part of the riviera have enabled the development of tourist trade whose traces are to be seen even before the World War II. A number of small fishermen's villages along the riviera have had a long tourist tradition and culture.

         The Cetina river and its magnificent canyon are cut into the picturesque mountainous massif in the very background of the town. On its way to the sea the river has created numerous long sandy beaches which are charecteristic of this part of the coast and make it one of the most beautiful, unusual and incomparable.

         Why the Omis riviera this time? While looking at these photographs, has it occurred to you that there are still places which are so close and yet so far from the aggressive rythm of modern life and tourist industry? Isolated coves where you can always find "your own" beach, or auto camp at the very seaside, are waiting for you.

        Why the Omis riviera another time? Small fishermen's villages preserved in their originality but at the same time offering full comfort in the newly built premises and private pensions, villas or apartments, make an extraordinary alternative. If you have just made up your mind, be sure that the deprived cold splendor of commercial hotels will be well made up for by the warmth welcome of your host and his wish to make you happy.
