Dicmo has been inhabited since the Illyrian ages and got its name  from the word “Decimanum”, because it was the “tenth mile” on the ancient road between Salona and Aequum

Active vacation

Dicmo is an ideal destination for active holidays. Horseback riding, cycling, mountaineering or hiking are the best way to truly experience the beauty of the Dicmo region. We suggest you to visit the source of the river Grab and hike in the mountains of Kamešnica.  Rafting, cannoning and kayaking are just some of the activities on the river Cetina. Enjoy the unique beauty of untouched nature and the cultivated fields and vineyards, hidden springs in the karst and the armlets of small rivers.

You can spend a day on a beach (nearest beach is 20 km away) and get back in the evening, visit national park Krka (easy access to the highway) or any other city at the coast or the hinterland.  The neighboring Bosnia and Herzegovina is 20 km away, so why not make a short trip?

The perfect location of our Gabriel Villa offers you countless possibilities for a great vacation.
