Omis is located 25km south of Split on Croatia’s dramatic Dalmatian coast. Omis was once a famous pirate town. The town’s excellent seamen navigated the Adriatic sea, keeping it wealthy, and in the late 12th century, fortified walls were built to protect it from invaders. The Omis Riviera scenery is incredibly dramatic, with sharp, jagged mountains, gorges, and dazzling turquoise waters. Omis is brimming with ancient buildings and churches. Tourists enjoy visiting the 13th-century Fortress Mirabella and 15th-century Fortress Starigrad, otherwise known as Fortica Fortress, silent reminders of the power and might of the infamous Omis pirates. St Michael’s Square is sprinkled with charming cafes, bars and restaurants. The town enjoys a fabulous reputation for its gastronomy and delicious wines.  Villa Alivia is beautifully designed. It is trendy, super cool and very tranquil in this secluded setting.

Villa Alvia boasts a fantastic hillside location in Borak, 3km from the centre of Omis, where the fabulous Cetina River meets the Adriatic Sea. The scenic town of Omis offers amazing buildings, excellent shopping and celebrated gastronomy. The Omis Riviera coastline is incredibly dramatic, with sharp, jagged mountains contrasting beautifully with the turquoise sea. For a small town, Omis certainly packs a punch. Omis is sprinkled with ancient buildings, churches and fortresses. The Omis Summer Festival is great fun, with Capella singing in the churches and pirate performances on the streets. From Omis, you can take a boat tour to Brac, Hvar and Vis islands or a trip up the river. The Cetina River offers so much fun, in and out of the water. Thrill-seeking visitors enjoy kayaking, rafting, canyoning, rock-climbing, ziplining and paragliding. It is entertaining and unforgettable and will undoubtedly be a highlight of your holiday.  If you decide to visit the islands of Hvar and Brac, you will have so much fun. On Brac, Zlatni Rat Beach is one of Croatia’s best beaches and adorns many Croatia posters. Brac Island is blessed with stunning scenery. The island is famous for its beautiful white stone. The White House in Washington is made from Brac stone. It is also famous for its  ‘buhavica’ olive oil, cheese, honey, and wine. The Stina Winery on the waterfront at Bol is lovely and the Prosec, a little like Australian muscat, is delicious. Split, a UNESCO world heritage site, is just thirty minutes away. This Instagram-worthy town offers visitors incredible architecture, fantastic shopping and delicious food. The 4th century Diocletian’s Palace is a fantastic landmark. It contains a military camp, the magnificent Golden Gate and a villa where the Roman emperor Diocletian retired. For the most fantastic view of the city, you should climb the bell tower of Saint Domnius Cathedral, which dates back to the 7th century. You can take a walking tour with a guide or a segway tour to ensure you do not miss any important buildings.

It is very popular for an evening stroll.   The beautiful Makarska Riviera is known for its spectacular beaches, including Pisak, Baska Voda, Brela and Makarska.
