Destination

Omiš and the Cetina River create one of the most unique destinations in Dalmatia. Here, the river meets the Adriatic, the canyon opens towards the sea, and the old pirate town preserves stories that can be felt in its stone streets, fortresses, and evenings filled with Dalmatian klapa singing. Camp Almissa is set right in this scenery, between the sandy beach, the sea, and nature that invites you to explore.

For camp guests, the advantage of the location is simple. The beach is right in front of you, Omiš is close by, and the Cetina Canyon is only a few minutes away. In a single day, you can swim, walk through the old town, go rafting, climb up to a fortress, or enjoy dinner by the sea. Few destinations combine family holidays, nature, history, and active tourism so effortlessly.

Omiš is ideal for guests who do not want to choose between the sea and things to do. Here you will find sandy beaches, the Mirabella and Fortica fortresses, the Cetina River, festivals, excursions, boat tours, and an excellent starting point for visiting Split, the islands, national parks, and the wider Dalmatian region.

The destination around Camp Almissa is not just a backdrop, but an active part of the holiday. For some, the greatest value will be the peace of the beach; for others, rafting and zipline; for some, a walk through the old town; and for others, the chance to explore the whole of central Dalmatia from one place. That is why Omiš is not just a place to stay, but a place where your holiday truly happens, with plenty of experiences along the way.

Omiš is a pirate town in the Cetina Canyon and one of the most experience-rich destinations in central Dalmatia. Set where the river flows into the Adriatic Sea, it combines the sea, cliffs, history, and nature in a place that is not only seen, but experienced with all the senses.

The history of Omiš is closely connected to pirates, the Middle Ages, and its strategic position at the mouth of the Cetina River. The Omiš pirates once controlled this part of the coast, and traces of that past can still be felt today in the old town, its narrow streets, stone houses, and fortresses overlooking the town.

Mirabella Fortress rises above the old town and offers one of the most beautiful views of Omiš, the sea, and the Cetina River. Fortica Fortress requires a bit more of a climb, but rewards you with a panorama that clearly shows why this town was once so important. Between them lies the lively town of Omiš, with its waterfront, churches, squares, small restaurants, and summer events.

The culture of Omiš is especially connected with Dalmatian klapa singing. The Festival of Dalmatian Klapa Singing is one of the town’s best-known events and an important part of its identity. During the summer months, music, evening walks, and the atmosphere of the old town give Omiš its special rhythm.

Omiš is small enough to get to know easily, yet layered enough to make you want to return. In a single day, you can walk through the town, go swimming, climb up to a fortress, come down for dinner, and head towards the Cetina River the next day. This is a destination that does not simply stand beside the story, but right at the heart of it.

Dalmatia surrounding Camp Almissa offers much more than a classic beach holiday. From Omiš, it is easy to explore Split, the islands, nature parks, Dalmatian towns, rivers, mountains, and coastal places that show just how diverse this part of Croatia is.

Split is around 25 kilometres away and is one of the most important cities on the Croatian coast. Diocletian’s Palace, the waterfront promenade, Marjan, the market, and the city beaches make it a great choice for guests who want a combination of history, gastronomy, and urban energy. From Split, ferry connections open the way to the islands and other parts of Dalmatia.

Dalmatia is known for its stone towns, olives, vineyards, pine trees, crystal-clear sea, and cuisine based on simple but powerful flavours. Fish, olive oil, wine, grilled dishes, fresh vegetables, and Mediterranean herbs are part of everyday life best understood at the table.

For guests visiting Croatia for the first time, Omiš is a great introduction to a country that combines safety, nature, the sea, history, and hospitality. From one base, you can experience the beach, river, mountains, UNESCO towns, islands, and national parks, and still return every evening to the peaceful oasis of Camp Almissa.
