A 3 days
An easy walk through the narrow alleyways of the old town, a relaxing boat trip to the Cetina canyon and the magnificent view from the Mirabela are quite enough to make you fall in love with Omiš at first sight. But this 2000 years old gem is too experienced to reveal all of its charms at the very first meeting ;) It will take a bit more time for you to truly get to know the town, and if you’re staying at least for three days – here’s a list of things you shouldn’t miss.
A sightseeing tour on a wooden boat is one of the best ways to grasp the magnificence of the Cetina canyon, but for a true experience of such unspoiled nature it is sometimes necessary to put your own muscles to work. Rafting and canyoning (or ziplining for the bravest) through the canyon are one of the most popular activities in Omiš, tried by dozens of thousands of tourists each year. More than four hours of paddling down river rapids, swimming under waterfalls, walking through several thousand years old caves, sunbathing on hidden river beaches and…Hey, wait a minute! It’s good manners to at least read a sentence through before starting to google for rafting/canyoning tickets ;-)
While enjoying the stunning view of the Channel of Brač from the top of the Mirabela and Fortica fortress, you must have wondered which islands you were in fact looking at. And here is the answer — Brač, Hvar and Šolta. But why satisfy yourself merely with looking, when you can actually visit them?
When on holiday in Omiš, most of the islands of Dalmatia are virtually at your fingertips. Almost every boat or ship you see in the town port or at the Cetina mouth offers one-day tours to popular tourist destinations on the islands. And a boat ride along the coast makes the perfect opportunity to spot the ideal secluded cove where you can spend your third day in Omiš ;)
And the key words of your last day in Omiš are rest and relaxation. As you may already guess – your possibilities are virtually endless here as well. Did you know, for example, that only a kilometer to the northwest of Omiš lies the longest stretch of sandy beaches in Croatia? And what is more – almost every inch of the Riviera of Omiš is suitable for swimming. From the long shallows of crowded sandy beaches, filled with all kinds of leisure activities, to the blue depths of pebble beaches in hidden, secluded coves, Omiš generously offers it all. If in doubt where to go, always remember this useful rule of thumb — if you go south (in the direction of Makarska), you’ll see pebble beaches and if you go west to Split), you’ll see sandy beaches. All you have to do is choose. End your day by traveling through Poljica: museum in Gata, tasting Poljički soparnik, Gradac, Mila Gojsalić Viewpoint.
