Love Omis ❤
The Cetina River slowly cut her way through the mountains for thousands of years to form one of the most impressive canyons in Europe, old pirates spent decades putting up stone on stone, building fortresses with the most stunning view in world, waves worked away at the shore for hundreds of thousands of years, crushing rocks to create dozens of beautiful sandy beaches and secluded coves...
Even if you’re just a passer-through, Omiš offers plenty of natural attractions and amazing activities you simply have to experience.
If you’re staying in our town just for a day, this is how you could spend it:
1. A walk through the old town
One of the special things about Omiš is the fact that a walk through the entire old town will take you no more than half an hour. However, walking along its centuries old alleyways, almost at every corner you’ll discover a quaint little restaurant, a piazza, a church or some other historical monument. Although quite small, the town’s numerous narrow alleyways make it pretty easy to get lost in it. But don’t worry, wherever you end up wandering, it’s just a matter of time when you’l l spot something worth every step taken.
2. A visit to Mirabela
A visit to the 14th century pirate fortress above the old town is definitely something you shouldn’t miss while in Omiš. It’s no more than a five-minute walk from the central Omiš square to the top of the fortress offering a magnificent view over the entire town and the nearby island of Brač.
The easiest way to reach Mirabela is by a set of stairs leading up to it directly from the entrance to the Parish Church of St Michael. Just remember to prepare some change before your climb, since the ticket to the medieval pirate fortress will cost you no more than 15 HRK.
3. A trip to Radmanove Mlinice
The town of Omiš developed at the place where the Cetina river meets the Adriatic Sea. In order to reach its final destination, on its more than a hundred kilometers long way to the sea, the Cetina had many obstacles to overcome and thus created a one of a kind winding course full of rapids, waterfalls and hidden beaches. The Cetina canyon is one of the most beautiful in Croatia, and especially impressive is the part near the very mouth, where the river pushes its way to the sea through a narrow passage between two mountains.
One of the best ways to truly experience the canyon is on a sightseeing boat trip. Only while fighting your way upstream through unspoiled nature will you be able to truly grasp the magnificence of the river. And the best thing is – all this just a few hundred meters away from crowded streets of the town, which will seem miles away to you, once in the Cetina canyon.

Our Croatia Photo Adventure is a wonderful combination of the must visit cities, coastal villages and National Parks in Croatia. Our journey will have us based in Zagreb, Vodice and Split. Zagreb is the capital, and the cultural, administrative, educational and political center of Croatia. A cosmopolitan city with a great nightlife, and many architectural and street photography opportunities.
As we head south into Dalmatia we will explore two breathtaking National Parks, Plitvice Lakes (UNESCO) and Krka. Their beauty will make you speechless. Once in Vodice we will visit the coastal gems of Sibenik and Trogir, both UNESCO World Heritage sites. Sibenik is a 1000 year old Roman city that was under Hungarian-Croat rule in the 12th century, followed by almost 400 years of Venetian rule, ending in 1797. The old town of Trogir, which stands intact from the days when it was built, will remain in your fond memory as one of the most memorable destinations of our trip. And if time and weather allows, on day six we will travel by ferry to the magical island of Hvar. This island is perfect for capturing the true essence of Croatia on the Adriatic Sea. Our final days will be spent exploring the city of Split with its Diocletian's Palace (UNESCO), a 30,000 square meter 1700 year old Roman palace along the Riva.

Kotor, Montenegro. Kotor old town and of the Bay of Kotor
Kotor is a coastal town in Montenegro. The old Mediterranean port of Kotor is surrounded by fortifications built during the Venetian period. The port and its surrounding area form an impressive and picturesque Mediterranean landscape. While there is no accurate information regarding the founding of Kotor, archaeologists believe that it rose on the foundations of the ancient city of Acruvium. Legends say that Alkima, a fairy, advised the Serbian king Stefan Dusan, not to build his town in the hills “where boats don’t have a harbor and where horses run about”, but to instead build near the sea. The rich history of Kotor, is parallel to the rich culture of the town with which many conquerors ruled: the Illyrians, the Venetians, the Austrians, the French.
