Omiš is a small Central Dalmatian town between Split and Makarska. It is situated in the canyon of the very beautiful Cetina river and is surrounded with massive gorges. It was well-known in the past by the pirates of Omiš whose ships were for foreign invaders a centuries-long symbol of retaliation, courage and strength.

Today, Omiš is the place of various tourist facilities along its 35 kilometres long riviera consisting of the multitude of picturesque beaches and preserved fisherman's villages.The strength of the Omiš pirates has been converted into the authentic song of the Omiš harmony-singing groups.
