We meet you at our Split meeting point and take you to your accommodation in Omiš. The evening is yours — old town, beach, riverfront.
Arrive before 18:00 if you can — later arrivals may carry a surcharge.
Start in Gornja Brela and walk Biokovo's sea-facing slopes to the Nevistina Stina viewpoint and the chapel of St. Kajo, high above the Makarska Riviera. Finish at the Church of St. Nicholas, back in Gornja Brela.
A short, scenic trail from Zakučac above Omiš — rocky paths, Mediterranean scrub, information boards on local history, and big views over the town and the sea.
The long day. From Borak up past stone villages to two old kula watchtowers above the Cetina canyon, then down to Podašpilje for a wine tasting at a local winery.
Breakfast and check-out, then a transfer to Split. Extra nights on request.
