Towns of the Omis Riviera

The Omis Riviera begins in the northwest at Jesenice and runs along Duce and Omis towards the southeast to the Makarska Riviera, passing idyllic fishing villages such as Nemira, Stanici, Lokva Rogoznica, Medici, Mimice, and Marusici, all with beautiful pebble beaches. The last town on the Riviera, Pisak, is a typical Dalmatian fishing village offering numerous holiday accommodations and secluded beaches. The Riviera stretches approximately 35 kilometers in total.

Beaches and Family Holidays

The western part, including Duce and Omis, features shallow sandy beaches ideal for families with young children. Southeast of Omis, pebble beaches dominate. A highlight for families is the "Dinopark" amusement park in Omis, featuring bouncy castles, carousels, paddling pools, trampolines, and life-size dinosaur replicas. Along the Riviera, numerous holiday apartments, studios, and vacation homes are available for families.

Active Holidays and Water Sports

Originally small fishing villages, the towns along the Riviera have retained their charm. In the hilly hinterland along the Cetina Canyon, Omis offers climbing, hiking, paragliding, and rafting opportunities. Beaches provide water sports such as jet skiing, surfing, and beach volleyball. Tennis, basketball, and football courts, as well as mini-golf, are available. Many holiday rentals are conveniently located near beaches or in central locations for exploring the region.

Culinary and Old Town

The Old Town of Omis, with its narrow alleys, charming stone houses, and a wide variety of cafés, taverns, and restaurants, is especially inviting in the evenings. Here, visitors can find numerous holiday apartments and vacation rentals that perfectly complement an authentic Dalmatian experience.

Cultural Heritage

Highlights include the Mirabela and Fortica fortresses. Fortica sits atop the rocky hill above the town, offering strategic protection against pirates in the past, with panoramic views of the Omis Bay, Brac Island, and Solta Island. The Mirabela Fortress, located just above the Old Town along the river, served as a watch post. Today, both fortresses are among the region's most famous attractions. Many holiday accommodations in Omis provide an ideal base to visit these historic sites comfortably.
