River Cetina, Omis (Omiš), Croatia

Omis (Omiš) is well known for the Corsairs of Almissa (Pirates), whose Sagittas (ships) brought them fame because they were built for attack and fast retrieval into the mouth of the Cetina River, protecting the town from foreign invaders and even plundering the Venetian merchant ships en-route across the Adriatic. Omiš is situated some 25 km from the city of Split. Today, Omiš is a tourist destination, particularly for those who like active holidays (white-water rafting, canoeing and kayaking on the river Cetina).
