Pirate battle Omiš 2014
18.08.2014.
The Pirate Battle of Omiš, which is to take place on August 18th 2014 in the town port of Omiš for the 8th year in a row, has over the years become a traditional and central summer event for the town of Omiš, the Split-Dalmatia County and Croatia.
The infamous pirates of Omiš ruled the coastal area between the Neretva and Cetina rivers (including the nearby islands) in the period from the 12th until the 15th century.
As a reenactment of an actual historical battle between the pirates of Omiš and Venetians that took place in the 13th century, this unique event uses historical facts in building the brand of Omiš as a town of pirates and thus contributing to the development of cultural tourism of the wider Omiš territory.
More then 100 fully armed participants are directly involved in the reenactment of the original battle each year, including, apart from the Pirates of Omiš, also members of historical military units Kumpanija from Korcula, Trombonjeri from Dubrovnik and Uskoci from Klis.
It should also be noted that more than 10 000 visitors enjoy this unique event each year.

Villa Stone Village - 50 SHADES OF BLUE
True celebrity villa - A Stone Oasis in the middle of the big blue is a favorite hideaway of world jet setters
Vela Luka, Korčula
This magnificent stone mansion is tucked away in a quiet cove just 5 km from the town of Vela Luka.
The owners, aware of the unique and pristine beauty of Žukova bay, created a haven in which every detail of the complex is thoughtfully implemented in the Mediterranean landscape that surrounds it.
The “Stone Village” is a true celebrity villa, isolated and discreet, ideal for those who wish to keep their parties and their moments of relaxation to themselves.
This gemstone provides the perfect ingredients for a tailor-made holiday because the owners – the Oreb family, put a great deal of themselves in it, and furnished it with refined taste and subtle luxury.
It is a complex of stone houses and a thoughtfully designed courtyard with a gorgeous swimming pool, which seems to compete in appeal with the green-blue of the sea only a few feet away.
The harmony of nature and comfort, stone and wood, colors and materials used in the villa, are always smooth and blended; nothing disturbs the eye or the soul.
Former former beauty queens of South Africa: Kerishnie Naicker, Karolina Sky i Katia Fidalgo
The soulful villa, which was created in a manner that in no way undermines the beauty and harmony of the surrounding nature, but to emphasize and enrich it, won the hearts of many celebrities around the world.
Famous place of world elite
It comes as no surprise that many famous guests stayed in the villa, to name just a few: Jérôme Valcke, one of the heads of the World Football Federation (FIFA) and his wife Ornella, South African beauties - former beauty queens Kerishnie Naicker, Carolina Sky and Katie Fidalgo, the popular South African radio presenter Bailey Schneider and many others.

NIGHTS PARTY
From the book of impressions
This place is a mecca for those who want to enjoy a unique ambience, for newlyweds on their honeymoon, for guests with refined taste.
Nearly everyone who spends some time at the villa gets poetically inspired upon their departure, declaring it “a true paradise”.
The delightful architectural design so spotlessly integrated into the environment, leaves no one indifferent, and the only “disruption” to your peace and quiet is the sound of the waves and the owls from the nearby woods.
If you feel seduced (and we do!), book on www.orebvillas.com for your own piece of paradise.

Šibenik Knin County - increasingly famous name on world tourist map
Šibenik Knin County shines in its new glare – innovative projects rightfully awarded with prestige world acknowledgments and the highest tourist traffic increase in Croatia are more than enough reasons for pleasure.
Cultural and natural beauties, attractive sights, numerous festivals and manifestations, interesting background and sumptuous gastronomic offer have made this region one of the most attractive domestic destinations.
Ideal accommodation between two airports – Zadar and Split, makes it accessible to anyone who wants to explore it, so it is not surprising that some of its locations like Krka waterfalls, have become the most desirable excursionist destinations from bigger town centres.
Its heart – the city of Šibenik, reveals itself to tourists as a priceless cultural heritage jewel. Majestic St Jacob Cathedral, with its impressive sculptures, can now be explored with the virtual guidance of its ‘creator’, within the smart phone application, while its innovativeness has been acknowledged and awarded by World Tourist Organization.
Besides exploring this UNESCO sight, Šibenik's guests can especially enjoy in medieval garden of St Lawrence Monastery and the view from the fort of St Anna which is very much worth climbing to. More demanding cultural heritage enthusiasts will be delighted with city's cultural and art bastions, from the Town Museum and the Museum of Sacred Art, to the Treasury of Benedictine Nunnery of St Lucia and six art galleries, 600 archaeological localities, 11 medieval fortifications (for this has always been an area of strategic importance) and 230 cultural monuments confirm that this region is a genuine oasis of cultural heritage!
To nature enthusiasts this region offers numerous reasons for pleasure. Beautiful clear sea and beaches are a real lure for guests, while especially attractive is the Šibenik's city beach Banj which can be accessed by newly arranged walkway and from which you can see the city centre! Anyone who wants to experience the beauty of Kornati and enjoy in one of the most spectacular landscapes in Dalmatia, or even in surreal beauty of Krka waterfalls, nature parks Velebit and Vransko jezero, came to the right place.
The luxury of natural treasures of this region reflects itself in numerous geological locations, like observable waves on Stara straža place near Knin, or a chain of carst wells on Cetina Vrelo!
We mustn't forget the Šibenik's hinterland – Drniš, Knin and Skradin. For guests who want to find out why the visit to this region is most frequently tasteful, there is no better recommendation! Famous Drniš proscuitto, cheese from goatskin and autochthonous babić wine whose quality is appreciated worldwide, will be paired with a warm welcome and serving of homemade brandy, prošek or maraština, and dry figs!
Šibenik - Knin 's menu is specific for having its 'meat' and 'fish' side, while the meat one you will discover best if you go to the Šibenik's background. Namely, the specialties form this region, like lamb or pork under the baking lid will be remembered for a long time even by the most demanding gourmets.
Celebrate love in Split - Dalmatia county
CELEBRATE LOVE IN A REAL CAPITAL OF ROMANCE.
Sunny days and mild climate even in winter months, favourite bathing places that during the winter become romantic walkways same as stone allies of old city cores, are a real lure for couples who more and more often decide to spend important dates or even their weddings in Dalmatia. Split - Dalmatia County has distinguished itself as a preferable place for this kind of events and as an ambience of unsurpassed romance.
For the occasion of Valentine's Day, hoteliers have prepared a variety of favourable offers, so a couple who comes for a dinner in a hotel restaurant on Valentine's Day, will by choice get free overnight stay in a hotel room with a romantic breakfast or a voucher for spa and wellness facilities. Many of our restaurant have also came up with many interesting things, so the County's restaurants offer menus with chosen delicacies of tempting ''love'' names (''Basic Instinct'', ''First Kiss'', St Valentine's Sorbet''...) - and equally tempting taste.
Namely, they are genuine gourmet snacks – dishes based on sea food, steaks with unusual, sophisticated sauces like the one made of cranberry, and magic sweets with strawberries and other berry fruit. Together with the dishes so tasteful as their names suggest, couples will be able to enjoy in performances of domestic musicians, or maybe they will decide to go on some of the concerts that take place on that very day throughout the region. Klapa concerts are an excellent choice!
In this context we must mention those who like this region so much that they have decided to marry here. Beautiful locations – chapels with great observation decks (like Sustipan in Split), historical buildings (Klis fortification and Diocletian's Palace) and places of exceptional natural beauty (city of Omiš, islands of Šolta, Brač and Hvar) are becoming well recognized as an ideal scenery for the 'big day', so county's wedding organisation agencies have a lot of work. In the end, what else can be said except that – if you are one of those who have been struck by the Amor arrow, check why this county is a real capital of romance!
