Detailed itinerary

In Omiš, you can choose how to spend your time. Join a guided tour with a licensed guide, take a walk through the old town, climb the fortress, enjoy a local lunch, go swimming, take a river cruise, or explore the area by car with your guide. It’s your free time, your day — you choose.

Soparnik is a traditional Dalmatian dish made of thin dough filled with Swiss chard, onions, and parsley, then baked in a wood-fired oven — simple, healthy, and irresistibly delicious with its crispy crust and savory, aromatic filling.

Stop 3

The guide will tell you about the historical significance of the river for the local people — how it sustained their lives, and how the pirates protected this area while striking fear into everyone else along the coast.

Climb to the fortress with your guide and enjoy the stunning view of the river flowing into the sea, while hearing the story of the fortress and its importance to the town of Omiš.

The narrow medieval streets are rich with shops, architecture, restaurants — and history. Take a walk, grab a bite, and discover the fascinating past of this pirate town.

Spend as much time as you want on the sandy beach in Omiš, or any other beach in the region around. Ask the guide and decide on the preferences together (sand, stone, sun, shade, sun beds, water sports...)
