Pirates in the harbor. Don't worry, it's the crew of "La Grace"The cruise ship Czechoslovak Grace, cruising between the Balearic Islands and Tuscan Archipelago. The crew, for the entertainment of passengers and children, often dress up as pirates.
Omiš (pronounced [ɔ̌miːʃ], Latin and Italian: Almissa) is a town and port in the Dalmatia region of Croatia. The town is situated approximately 25 kilometres (16 miles) south-east of Croatia's second largest city, Split. Its location is where the Cetina River (to the right) meets the Adriatic Sea.
Omiš was well known in the past by the Corsairs (i.e. pirates) of Almissa. Omiš Pirates were extraordinary sailors and shipbuilders, famous for their Sagittas (the Arrow), a special type of ship constructed for fast attack and even faster retrieval into the safety of the mouth of the Cetina River. Due to its position and the bravery of its inhabitants, Omiš was practically impregnable to all invaders. Even the Turks, who conquered all of the south-eastern Europe, and were stopped at the gates of Vienna, didn't manage to defeat Omiš.
At the peak of their power, Omiš Pirates were one of the most powerful and fearsome pirates on the whole Mediterranean Sea. Omiš Pirates ruled the Adriatic Sea for more then three centuries until in the year of 1420 the whole of Dalmatia, except Omiš, fell under rule the of Venetian Republic, the most powerful naval force of those times. Surrounded by the enemy and left completely alone, the Pirates of Omiš managed to defend themselves for 24 years. In 1444, Omiš fell into the hands of Venetia and that year marks the end of piracy on Adriatic Sea.
From the end of the 15th century, when the city fell to the authority of Venetian Republic, its name was the Italian Almissa.
Today, Omiš is best known for the traditional festival of the Dalmatian a cappella singing groups. During the Omiš Summer Festival various concerts and recitals are performed at the city's plazas and in churches.
The pano was taken from the Mirabella Fortress above the town, built in 13th century.

I wish I was a pirate out there, under my own flag
Running for no reason and no reason to turn back
Salt and rum on my tongue, sails tattered and torn
Laughing in the devil's face, riding out a storm
Ooh, what are these days?
Gonna get off of these highways, wake up in some bay
With sunshine on my face
St. Christopher on a silver chain
Say a prayer, sail away
Ooh, what are these days?
Gonna get off of these highways, wake up in some bay

Being a pirate is all fun and games, 'til somebody loses an ear
It slips down your neck and onto the deck
and somebody says: "Wot's this 'ere?"
You can't wear your glasses, you can't 'pull' the lasses
Your mates have to shout so you'll hear
(Being a pirate is all fun and games, 'til somebody loses an ear)
Oh it's all part of being a pirate (A pirate! A pirate!)
You can't be a pirate with all of your parts
Oh it's all part of being a pirate (A pirate! A pirate!)
You can't be a pirate with all of your parts
Being a pirate is all fun and games, 'til somebody loses an eye
It hurts like the blazes, it makes you make faces
You can't let your mates see you cry
You can cover the hatch with a trendy black patch
And make sure your socket stays dry
(Being a pirate is all fun and games, 'til somebody loses an eye)
Being a pirate is all fun and games, 'til somebody loses a hand
It squirts and it spurts and it bloody well hurts
Pain only a pirate could stand
The fashionable look is a nice metal hook
But then you can't play in the band
(Being a pirate is all fun and games, 'til somebody loses a hand)
Being a pirate is all fun and games, 'til somebody loses a leg
It hurts like the dickens, your pace never quickens
You're hobbling around on a peg
Ask your girl to marry, but too long you've tarried
'Cos now you can't kneel down and beg
(Being a pirate is all fun and games, 'til somebody loses a leg)
Being a pirate is all fun and games, 'til somebody loses a 'thing'
Though you didn't choose it, you don't want to lose it
And now when you use it it stings
You can sew it back on with a needle and thong
but doesn't quite have that same spring
(Being a pirate is all fun and games, 'til somebody loses a 'thing')
