Duće
Duće is located in central Dalmatia on the Omis Riviera along the Adriatic Highway. It is about 20 km from Split on the way to Makarska. Directly opposite is the island of Brač.
The excellent tourist oasis Duće stretches along the coast between the towns of Omiš and Dugi Rat. It boasts beautiful sandy beaches 4 km long, surrounded by rich Mediterranean vegetation.
It is located only 2 km from the mouth of the Cetina River, at the very gate of the nature trail. The river leads through canyons inland, revealing the incomparable excursion area "Radmanova Mlinica" and on to the famous waterfalls "Mala and Velika Gubavica" near Zadvarje.
To the north, Duce borders the Mosor mountains located at 400 m above sea level. These mountains lead to the mouth of the Cetina River and are surrounded by a dense pine forest that descends right to the sea and can be found on countless sandy beaches where the Cetina River is cultivated
Omiš
Omis is an old town. The first time Omiš is mentioned is more than 2000 years old, as a settlement called Oneum. Throughout history, it was known for the city - pirates!
Throughout the 12th and 13th centuries, Omiš pirates ruled the Adriatic Sea in the area between Split and Dubrovnik. Navigation in their area requires payment. If you decided to skip the payment, you were doomed to fight - a real pirate fight, and your chances were not good because the Omiš pirates were good at what they did. For two whole centuries, pirates attacked the merchant ships of the Republic of Venice, the Republic of Dubrovnik and other trading giants.
Their power grew over time. Several wars were fought against them, but few succeeded. They were finally defeated in the 15th century. Duke Kačić ran, and Omiš became part of the Republic of Venice, and became an administrative and military center. Because of this, it got defensive walls around the city, walls that limited the construction area, so that Omiš got its architecture - small houses and narrow stairs.
After the Venetian Republic collapsed, the walls no longer had any purpose, and the inhabitants of Omiš demolished them to expand the city. Today, only the remains of the city walls can be seen as the city gate in the eastern part of the city, as well as the Turun Fortress in Fošal Street.
In the 19th century, Omiš became part of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, then part of Napoleon's France, in the 20th century it was part of the two Yugoslavias, and finally part of Croatia.
Today, Omiš is mainly a tourist place. It can offer its rich cultural heritage, a great gastronomic offer (many great restaurants in the narrow streets of Omis) and a rich cultural life such as the Dalmatian accapella singing - Klapa.
Split
The story of Split begins 1700 years ago, when the Roman Emperor Diocletian built his holiday house on the site of an ancient Greek settlement, which later became the cultural, tourist and social center of today's Split.
Split had a rough history. From the 15th to the 18th century it was under the Venetians. It later became part of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and was briefly occupied by France. Later it became part of Yugoslavia, and finally, after the Croatian-Serbian war, it became part of the Republic of Croatia.
Split had political, cultural and commercial influence. It was one of the most important ports in the Adriatic Sea.
Today, Split remains a culturally rich city. The perfectly preserved Diocletian's Palace (cellars, Peristyle, Cathedral of St. Duje, Sanctuary of Jupiter) is part of the UNESCO heritage. Split presents its cultural and ethnic history through many museums (archaeological, ethnographic, maritime and city museums), art galleries (Meštrović Gallery, Art Gallery) and cultural events (Split summer, music festival).
Split is also known for its gastronomic offer. The city center is full of great restaurants with a wide range of typical Dalmatian dishes and exotic dishes, as well as a large selection of great local wines.
Split is also a place for fun and entertainment. Split waterfront (Riva) is a popular place for morning coffee, and in the evening it is one of the best places to go out for a drink. There is also the option of going to one of the many music clubs. In addition to the world-famous Ultra Europe festival, Split also hosts many other smaller electronic music festivals, as well as concerts by big music stars.

Supetar island Brač
Brač is the largest central Dalmatian island. It is about 40 km long and 12 km wide on average. With a total area of 395 km², it is the third largest island in the Adriatic. It is 6 to 13 km from the mainland via the Brač Channel (maximum depth 78m). To the west, it is separated from the island of Šolta by the Split Gate, and to the south from the island of Hvar by the Hvar Channel (91 m deep). The island is built of carbonate-limestone rocks, and it was created approximately 100 million years ago in the Cretaceous period, but it only became an island in the Holocene. Erosion and sedimentation created other types of soil, so that today it consists of limestone, sandstone, breccia, clay and red clay. The highest peak is Vidova gora, otherwise the highest peak of all the Adriatic islands (778 m/asl).
Island Hvar
Hvar (pronounced [xvâːr]; Chakavian: Hvor or For, Greek: Φάρος, romanized: Pharos, Latin: Pharia, Italian: Lesina) is a Croatian island in the Adriatic Sea, located off the Dalmatian coast, lying between the islands of Brač, Vis and Korčula. Approximately 68 kilometres (42.25 mi) long,[1] with a high east–west ridge of Mesozoic limestone and dolomite, the island of Hvar is unusual in the area for having a large fertile coastal plain, and fresh water springs. Its hillsides are covered in pine forests, with vineyards, olive groves, fruit orchards and lavender fields in the agricultural areas. The climate is characterized by mild winters, and warm summers with many hours of sunshine.[2] The island has 10,678 residents according to the 2021 census,[3] making it the 4th most populated of the Croatian islands.
Island Vis and Biševo
Vis (pronounced [ʋîːs]; Ancient Greek: Ἴσσα; Latin: Issa, Italian: Lissa) is a small Croatian island in the Adriatic Sea. It is the farthest inhabited island off the Croatian mainland. Before the end of World War I, the island was held by the Liburnians, the Republic of Venice, the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy, and the Austrian Empire. During the 19th century, the sea to the north of Vis was the site of two naval battles. In 1920, the island was ceded to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia as part of the Treaty of Rapallo. During World War II, the island was the headquarters of the Yugoslav Partisan movement. After the war, Vis was used as a naval base for the Yugoslav People's Army until 1989. The island's main industries are viticulture, fishing, fish processing, and tourism.
