Omiš

Twenty-one kilometres south of Split, at the mouth of the Cetina River and the foot of steep cliffs of the Omiš Dinara, lies Omiš, a town well-known for its rich history of piracy.

During the pirate nights that are organised here, you can hear about the adventures and history of Omiš pirates, who were, to put it mildly, not all that popular on the Adriatic. If you climb the steps to the fortress Mirabela via the historic centre of Omiš, you will find many Pirate souvenirs. That fortress dates from the 13th century. Another castle ‘Fortica’ is somewhat younger, from the 15th century, and is located at the very top of Omiš Dinara, the towering cliffs behind the town. For adventurers, this city is a perfect choice: rafting, hiking, rock climbing and caving are among its major attractions.

Soparnik

Poljica, the administrative centre of the region, also produces the famous soparnik, a spinach pie.
