Converse with the locals in a small Croatian village and together cook a traditional dish affectionately known as Dalmatian pizza.
After departing from the pier, you will enjoy a picturesque, mostly coastal drive through the Croatian countryside to a traditional village in the Poljica Republic. Upon arriving, you will meet you host and mingle with some of the locals that will be joining you for lunch.
Croatian cuisine in coastal regions often includes seafood such as squid and Adriatic white fish, although heavier stews with lamb and vegetables are also popular. The baked dish peka is another traditional favorite that is slow-cooked “under a bell,” a phrase referring to the dish being cooked in a pot with a bell-shaped lid that is then covered with burning embers.
ce the fire is going, you will join the villagers and together prepare soparnik, a dish so traditional that it is included on Croatia’s list of intangible cultural heritage. Known more familiarly as Dalmatian pizza, soparnik is a meatless dish made with wheat flour, Swiss chard, onion, olive oil, garlic and salt.
You will participate in each step of the process, one of the keys being how the uncooked ingredients are combined and placed between two wooden boards. While the concoction is cooking between the boards in the open hearth, the locals will entertain you with traditional accordion music. In no time, lunch will be served.
lessDuration 7 1/2 hrs
After departing from the pier, you will drive inland through the inspiring Croatian countryside to Sibenik, a fortified town founded in the 9th century. Walking through the Old Town, you will see attractions such as the Gothic-style St. Francis Church, lovely Sibenik Theater, and the Duke’s Palace, which has been converted into a museum.
Still, St. Jacob’s Cathedral remains Sibenik’s highlight. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the cathedral was built entirely of stone under the direction of three architects. Construction took more than 100 years, and the result is a magnificent blend of Gothic and Renaissance architecture.
Next, you will visit Trogir, the entire city-island being a UNESCO site. Protected by medieval walls, Trogir has retained its original layout from the Hellenistic period and is a remarkable example of urban continuity. You can’t help but be awed by the outstanding examples of Renaissance and Baroque architecture found along the winding stone streets.
Back in Split, you will enjoy a traditional Dalmatian lunch before exploring Old Town and yet another UNESCO gem: the Palace of Diocletian. Built at the turn of the 4th century for Roman emperor Diocletian’s retirement, the palace is a sprawling complex of temples, cathedrals and residences facing the sea and is absolutely spectacular. Following your visit, you will return to the pier.
Duration 4 1/4 hrs
Visit the ancient site of Salona, the most important excavation site from Roman times in Croatia and discover the charm and architectural treasures of medieval Trogir – a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In Solin, at the ancient site of Salona it will seem as though time has stood still. It prospered during the 3rd and 4th centuries with about 40,000 inhabitants, at a time when Split didn’t even exist. Archaeologists have excavated remains of temples, amphitheaters, early Christian churches, burial grounds and baths. Salona is the most important excavation site from Roman times in Croatia. After your tour, enjoy a scenic drive along the beautiful “Riviera of the Seven Castles” to medieval Trogir.
Trogir boasts architectural treasures of beautiful stone houses, palaces, churches, monasteries, towers and walls. The entire town is like an open-air museum, so just strolling through its narrow streets is an unforgettable experience. You’ll visit the main attraction in Trogir, the Cathedral of St. Lawrence which is probably the finest example of Sacral architecture in Croatia. The unusual construction with three naves and three apses dominates the entire town. The main portal carved by local artist, Radovan, in the 13th century is world famous. You’ll also see the Town Loggia, Town Hall and Cipiko Palace.
Duration 3.5 hours
Explore two filming locations for “Game of Thrones” where pivotal scenes were shot depicting the Meereen slave rebellion and the dungeon that held fire-breathing dragons.
After departing from the pier, you will enjoy a scenic drive inland to Klis, an ancient village strategically located in a mountain pass. The village is dominated by a fortress that sits atop a jagged crag with views of the sea on one side and mountains on the other.
It is a spectacular setting, especially for fans of the TV series “Game of Thrones,” which is based on George R. R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” fantasy novels. In the show, the fortress served as the location for the city of Meereen. Here, Daenerys Targaryen (the Mother of Dragons) freed the slaves in Season Four.
In real life, the fortress, whose history dates to the 7th century, has been occupied by numerous Croatian rulers. Despite its seemingly impenetrable appearance, the fortress has been overtaken repeatedly, by the likes of the Ottomans, Venetians and Austrians.
After an enlightening exploration of the fortress, you will return to Split to visit its extraordinary Diocletian Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built at the turn of the 4th century for Roman emperor Diocletian’s retirement, the palace is a sprawling complex of temples, cathedrals and residences facing the sea.
Several scenes for “Game of Thrones” were shot here, most notably the ones where Daenerys’ dragons are chained in the dungeon. After visiting, you will return to the pier.
Duration 2 1/4 hrs
