This Croatian town is 25 km south-east of Split. Cetina River has its source in the Dinara and later the river meets the Adriatic Sea.
Omiš was founded by the Illyrians. Later, the Roman Empire conquered the territory. The Romans called the town Oneum until the 7th century. The centre was in today’s Baučić district where archaeologists found many artefacts like reliefs, gravestones and coins. The Avars and pagan Slavs destroyed the Roman territory in the 7th century.
The Neretva pirates ruled the region in the 9th and 10th centuries. Omiš was first mentioned in 1074 in the Supetar cartulary. Two crusades were led against Neretvans. The first was unsuccessful. But in 1286 the Venetian Republic and the surrounding towns managed to defeat the pirates. During Venetian Rule, locals mostly made a living from fishing.
After the dissolution of the Republic of Venice, Omiš came under Austrian rule in 1797. Then, in 1805 it fell into the hands of the French who defeated them. Following the fall of Napoleon at Leipzig, Austria gained power again over Omiš. The town was part of the Serbian-Hungarian-Slovenian Monarchy and until it joined the Independent State of Croatia, it belonged to Yugoslavia.
This Dalmatian resort town has a pleasant Mediterranean climate. The warmest month is July with an average temperature of 25, 4 °C. The coldest month is January. If you love water sports, the temperature of the sea can reach up to 24, 9 °C in August.
The most significant attractions in Omiš are Mirabela and Fortica fortresses. Are you interested in discovering some historic places? We recommend visiting the Church of St. Michael and the Church of the Holy Spirit.

In the gastronomy of the picturesque Omiš, grilled meat dishes play a very important part. The meals are best accompanied by dry red wine or beer. If you want to enjoy a culinary experience, choose Restaurant Bastion which is known for the fresh fish and seafood dishes.
Located in the heart of the Old Town, Puljiz also offers excellent fish dishes. In addition to the delicious thin-crust pizza, Pizzeria Antula has some delicious pasta dishes on the menu like spaghetti, lasagne and tortellini.
As for beaches, the sandy Velika Plaža is the best choice. It is the most popular beach in the town. Velika Plaža is perfect for families with small children because the water deepens slowly. It is well-equipped. You can rent a beach umbrella and a sun lounger on the 700-m long beach. In addition to swimming and surfing, you can play beach volleyball and football here.
This relatively small pebble beach is only a 10-minute walk from the town centre. If you do not want to spend too much time in the sun, the nearby trees provide shade. There are showers and restaurants at the beach. Also, you can rent jet skis.
One of the most beautiful beaches is the well-equipped Brzet, with fantastic views of the mountains rising near the town. The beach is 400 m long, and the crystal clear water is perfect for swimming and snorkelling. However, you should be careful because the sea deepens quickly here. On hot summer days, the pine trees surrounding the beach provide cooling shade.
