BASIC INFORMATION AND HISTORY

Mimice is a village and summer resort located 15 km southeast of the town of Omiš. In the hinterland is the Dinara mountain, and at the foot of the Adriatic Sea. The state road D8 runs through the center. According to the last census, Mimice has 250 inhabitants, and they are mainly engaged in tourism, agriculture and fishing. If you are coming to Split by plane, train or boat, regular bus lines to the south also pass through Mimice.

CULTURE, HISTORY AND ATTRACTIONS

The town was first mentioned in the mid-17th century, as evidenced by finds in the area around the local church and cemetery. During World War II, Mimice, along with nearby Omiš, were part of the Independent State of Croatia. It is no coincidence that Alberto Fortis, a Venetian travel writer, said while passing through Mimice; "This is a place of absolute beauty!" Old Mimice on the upper side of the Adriatic Highway is made up of stone houses and concentrated around the church of St. Roko. The village comes alive in the summer when the population returns for vacation.

BEACHES

Mimice has a small harbor and two pebble beaches: Juto and Kutleša. Juto is the main local beach, ideal for a family vacation, and Kutleša is an extension of the bay.

During the summer, fishermen's evenings, dances, poetry evenings and karaoke parties are organized, and the St. Roch festival also attracts visitors from neighboring towns.
