💡 Tips

Be prepared for many stairs; the village is built on a steep slope, and reaching the sea involves a lot of climbing.
Use the local bus to reach Omiš for shopping or sightseeing, as finding a parking spot in town is very difficult.
Visit Borka beach in the morning for the calmest waters and the best visibility for snorkeling.
Park your car in designated spots above the main road, as the internal village paths are extremely narrow.
Bring water shoes, as the pebble beaches drop off quickly and sea urchins are common in the rocky areas.

Pine paths above the village

Walk along the old paths above Čelina for absolute peace and great views of the Adriatic.

Čelina is located about 5 kilometers southeast of Omiš and is built in terraces on the slopes of Mount Dinara. The settlement consists of an old part above the main road and a newer part that stretches down to the sea. The location has a wide-open view of the Brač Channel and the opposite island. The beaches of Čelina are mostly small pebble bays that offer natural shade from pine trees. Due to the steep topography, many stairs and narrow paths lead to the sea, giving the place a special charm. Čelina is handy for families and couples looking for peace but who still want to be close to the entertainment options of Omiš. Water sports such as windsurfing and jet skiing are very popular here. In the vicinity, there are cozy apartments and luxury villas with pools. In the evening, you can enjoy Dalmatian fish dishes and wines from nearby vineyards in local restaurants.
