Marusici is a lovely, tranquil village between Omis and Makarska. With gorgeous, clear, shallow water, the beach is perfect for families and the village, a delight for those wanting a quiet holiday amongst beautiful landscapes and seascapes. With a sleepy Dalmatian atmosphere, beautiful pine woods and the sounds of cicadas and the sea waves, visitors will relax and unwind. The village boasts a grocery shop, several cafe bars and restaurants serving delicious Dalmatian dishes. With the Cetina River close by, visitors enjoy thrilling river activities and gourmet dining and fabulous nightlife in Omis and Makarska. You can also explore the mountain areas and the Biokovo Natural Park.
Just down the coast towards Makarska is the delightful, historical village of Baska Voda. It is small and peaceful with a port and a popular beach. Once a humble fishing village, its beach, pine woods and lovely setting have made it a favourite with families. Numerous souvenir shops, friendly cafes and cosy restaurants line the pretty promenade, filled with the sound of music and laughter. The quaint villages of Bast and Topic are known for their artisanal cheese, prosciutto and bread. You will also enjoy Promajna and the little fisherman’s village of Bratus.
Omis is known as the City of Pirates, situated at the mouth of the Cetina River. The town is home to many churches, the 13th century Fortress Mirabella and the 15th-century Fortress Starigrad, excellent shops and a renowned selection of gourmet restaurants serving fresh, locally caught fish and speciality smoked ham. The Klapa Festival in summer is a wonderful event with Capella singing in churches and squares in the old town.
For an action-packed adventure, you can head to the Cetina River. The amazing calcareous canyon is the ideal place for canyoning, with its cliff face reaching up to 180 metres and a warren of tunnels, waterfalls and lakes. Extreme canyoning with experienced instructors and professional alpine gear involves descending the Gubavica Waterfall. You can also challenge yourselves on the incredible zipline that crosses the canyon 150 metres off the ground. For something more sedate, you can paddle down the pretty river in canoes or kayaks, enjoying the breathtaking natural scenery and perhaps a picnic by the side of the river. Just north of the village of Justice, you can ride in giant inflatable doughnuts and descend the small river rapids. Starting at Pensici and finishing at Radmanove Mlinice, you can have a day to remember family white water rafting. You can also soar high above the river and town from Imber on a paragliding trip.
The beautiful buildings in Split look as though they have just emerged from a fantasy novel. The town combines honeycombs of these intricate historical buildings with a cosmopolitan, palm-lined promenade offering tourists a fabulous experience. The atmospheric, narrow streets are brimming with dramatic monuments, charming restaurants, cafes, bars and a good variety of shops.
