sightseeing
The natural beauty of the river and its many falls are enchanting. There is a small etho village there and don't forget to see Tesla's hydroelectric power rotor.
I like to call it a historical living artifact: see ancient Roman architecture, and how the locals adapted it over Splits long history. In the heart of Split enjoy the many cafes along the riviera. Tour it independently and meander through the ancient cellar and come up on to the emperor's throne room or hire a guide. There are fees to climb into the bell tower of St. Dominic but the views of the city and islands are worth it.

Omis is a know as a pirate town. It is situated at the delta of the river, Cetina. I find it best to park before the bridge at the municipal parking lot, and walk across the bridge over the river in this charming town. For those who what to explore an easy hike will lead you the one of the once 12 fortress along the river that were used to keep watch for invaders, and easy prey. If you can climb upto the Fortress Mirabela , it is well worth the view and the experience. There is a small preservation fee to visit the fortress.
Also of note is the beautiful blue flag sand beach, with its many cafes
The town has an open market, grocery stores, shops,restaurants, post office, etc.

Food Scene
This outdoor restaurant may not be the fanciest, but it certainly is a favorite among the locals. Its specialty is the fresh local fish from local fishermen. This mid range restaurant is not for those who want cheap fast food. Local fish dishes and their fish soup along with homemade bread will not disappoint. A great place for a real relaxing fish meal.

They also serve a pretty good pizza and naturally ice cream. Lovely views of the delta of the river as it mixes with the Adriatic with old town Omis on the other side.
