Apartments and private accommodation Omiš Riviera

One of the most recognizable parts of Omiš Riviera is certainly the impressive canyon of the Cetina River, which in the mid-1960s got the status of a protected natural landscape. Remarkable nature is one of the trademarks of the river Cetina, whose flow is 105 km long. The Cetina River springs on the slopes of the mountain of  Dinara near the village of Cetina. The source of the river is more than 100 meters deep Lake of Glavaševo. Extremely attractive Lake of Glavaševo is a heart-shaped spring and it is surrounded by Dalmatian karst and steep cliffs. Glavaševo lake (Glavaševo vrelo) of light-colored colors is visited by divers who, in search of adrenaline experiences, descend into the dark depths of the lake. Close to the Cetina spring, there is a church of St. Spas from the 9th century. The church has a preserved tower and it is the oldest old-Croatia church in Croatia. Rijeka Cetina flows into the Adriatic Sea in the town of Omiš.

As this area was inhabited for more than 2000 years, along with the flow of the river Cetina, there are many ancient and medieval fortresses from which you can find beautiful views of the river Cetina and impressive canyon. The most famous forts are Glavas, Prozor, Travnik, Sinj fortress Stari Grad, Čačvina, Nutjak, Zadvarje, Kunjak, Mirabela (Peovica) and Fortica (Starigrad), and the most famous fortress Visuć.

On the river Cetina, we recommend visiting the well-known excursion place Radman's mills ("Radmanove mlinice"), which for decades attract numerous tourists. In the 16th century, the mill was built on the river Cetina and for many years had been used for the production of flour, while today it is an attraction for many visitors. Due to the untouched nature surrounding Radman's mills, the site was used as a film set for filming the movie about the Indian chief called Winnetou. In Radman's mills, you can try some of the finest Dalmatian cuisine specialties including fish specialties, lamb, veal, frog and eel.

Cetina canyon offers many opportunities for active recreation such as rafting, zip line, kayaking, walks along the river Cetina or excursion boat ride. Enjoy the breathtaking beauty of one of the most beautiful canyons in Croatia.
