If you would like to visit Zagora along the path that nature
has provided, it is best to follow the course of the river
Cetina. Begin your journey in Omis,
at the very point where the river enters the sea. Following
the magnificent canyon of the green river, at the very onset
you have started on an adventure. You can choose rafting,
canyoning or bathing in the river rapids. Entering further
inland you will come across villages, each one with a story
of its own.
Regardless of where your interests lie, whether it be in nature,
the mountains, the river or the history which has left its
traces, you won't be bored. A piece of wood, a carving knife,
spade or scythe, working in the fields or vineyard, feeding
the farm animals, will not only give you an opportunity to
forget your everyday life but will be the best way to spend
an unusual day.
Your stay in village households, in the company of your
hosts will give you great pleasure. Allow yourself to be inspired
by the silence of the defiant silhouettes of the surrounding
mountains, with the fresh mountain air opening
your appetite.The cuisine of the rustic Zagora leaves no one
indifferent. It is itself a special story of the times and
people who created it. Village paths are ideal for walking
or bike riding. Many of them take your through green woods
and along the river. Sometimes they take you to the heights
of surrounding hills from which you are offered a beautiful
view of the surrounding area. Some of the paths are marked
and others served as trade routes long ago. Zagora is well
known for its hospitality.The people offering their hospitality
and opening the doors to their homes will endeavour to make
your stay as pleasant as possible.They will heartily share
with you their everyday life, something your will long remember,
right up to your next visit.
Your encounter with Zagora, as a one day excursion from
the seaside or even as a longer stay of a few days, will offer
you the feeling that you have experienced something extraordinary,
something valuable, something you will most certainly want
to do again - because the sea in not far away.
