Day 1: Split, Omis

After boarding our “A” category cruiser at 1:00pm from the Split harbour, we enjoy lunch on board before cruising the tranquil waters of the Adriatic Sea. There are plenty of stops for swimming on the way to Omis, a small port located at the mouth of the Cetina River and surrounded by huge gorges. Historically, Omis was home to the fearful pirates whose fast boats were used to attack trade ships.
