Omiš & Cetina River Canyon
Omiš i kanjon Cetine
A pirate town where the Cetina River cuts through a canyon to the sea, offering rafting, zip-lining and Mirabella Fortress, about 25 km from Split.
Omiš & Cetina River Canyon lies about 25 km southeast of Split, where the Cetina River cuts through cliffs to reach the Adriatic. In the Middle Ages it was a pirate base that troubled Venice. Behind the town, Mirabella Fortress and the higher Starigrad (Fortica) fortress offer climbs with views over the river mouth. In the canyon you can take a kayak or rafting trip (about 3 hours), zip-line across the gorge (several sections totalling about 2 km), or take a boat upriver to the Radmanove Mlinice mill restaurant for trout. There is a beach at the river mouth. From Split, take a coastal bus, about 40 minutes.
