The scenic town of Omis is 8km from the villa. Omis has great shopping and is popular for its gastronomy. It is known as the ‘Pirate Town’ due to its location at the Cetina River’s mouth and its history of pirates. The Omis Riviera is often thought to be one of Croatia’s best-kept secrets. The coastline is incredibly dramatic, with sharp, jagged mountains all around, contrasting beautifully with the turquoise sea. For a small town, Omis certainly packs a punch. Omis is brimming with ancient buildings and churches such as the 13th-century Fortress Mirabella and 15th-century Fortress Starigrad, also known as Fortica Fortress. The Omis Summer Festival is great fun with capella singing in the churches and pirate performances.
The incredible Cetina River can be reached very quickly from Villa Orsolia. It offers so much fun, in and out of the water. Thrill seeking visitors enjoy kayaking, rafting, canyoning, rock-climbing, ziplining and paragliding. It is very entertaining, unforgettable and will certainly be a highlight of your holiday.
Split’s stunning town is only 18km away and offers visitors incredible architecture, fantastic shopping, and delicious food. The Diocletian’s Palace is a notable landmark built in the 4th century. It contains a military camp, the magnificent Golden Gate and a villa where the Roman emperor Diocletian retired. For the city’s most amazing view, you should climb the bell tower of Saint Domnius Cathedral, which dates back to the 7th century.

Split’s Riva, the pretty promenade lined with palms and charming cafes and bars, is fabulous for an evening stroll.
