Kosore is located in the historically significant region of the upper Cetina River, not far from the small town of Vrlika. The village features an impressive natural backdrop: on one side stretches the Peruća reservoir, while on the other rise the mighty peaks of the Dinara and Svilaja mountains. This area is far removed from the maritime tourism of the coast, offering instead a rugged, unadulterated Dalmatia. The residents of Kosore traditionally dedicate themselves to agriculture and livestock farming. The region is known for its gastronomy, especially Vrlika cheese and meat prepared under the 'Peka'. Near Kosore is the source of the Cetina River (Glavaš), an impressive karst lake with deep blue water that is a popular photo motif. The remains of the Prozor fortress above Vrlika are also a worthwhile destination for those interested in history. Lake Peruća provides opportunities for fishing, rowing, and in the summer months, swimming, although the water is significantly cooler than the sea. The surroundings are a paradise for hikers and mountain bikers seeking the solitude of the mountains. Kosore is the well-suited place for travelers who appreciate the silence of nature and want to get to know the rich culture of the Dalmatian hinterland (Zagora), including the traditional dances and costumes of Vrlika.
