Croatia Holidays - Omis

The individuality of Omis lies in its Padovas, or sheltered bays, which teem with swimmers during the day, and at night with little boats coming back from their fishing.
Houses along the beaches, little piers on the shore, a view of the old city and its bell-towers, and the path that goes along the very shore, all make Omis a place to come back to.
Omis provides numerous sports and recreational facilities; football and basketball playgrounds, tennis courts, boccia alleys; beach volleyball may be played on the beach. There are 30 free climbing trails on the cliffs of the Cetina canyon; water sports equipment is rented; a swimming marathon for recreation enthusiasts is regularly organized.
The nearby tourist resorts also provide excellent opportunities for peaceful vacations: Stanici, Celine, Ruskamen, Mimice, Marusici, Pisak. These resorts offer quality accommodation facilities; Mimice and Pisak are known for its boarding houses.

Extensive sand beaches stretch from Dugi Rat in the west to Ravnice in the east. A 700-m wide shallow stretches off the low sand coast west of Omis, created by the drifts of the Cetina; it has a changing depth (up to 2 m).
