Highlights
The best way to understand Split? Taste it. This tour isn’t about ticking off “must-eats.” It’s about discovering how food in Split isn’t just something you consume—it’s something you inherit. We start where locals start their day: at the Green Market. It’s more than produce. It’s voices, habits, friendships. From here, we move through Split’s edible history.You’ll hear where the coffee is best—and where it’s mostly shared with travelers. You’ll learn what food meant to fishermen, to workers, to families who had little but shared a lot. And how Dalmatia’s layered identity—Roman, Venetian, Ottoman, Yugoslav—still lives on through taste. This isn’t a gourmet tour. It’s a grounded one. It’s not about fine dining, but about meals that carry memory. The ones you remember because someone told you the story behind the bread. By the end of the walk, you’ll have tasted more than ingredients. You’ll have tasted a way of life.

Itinerary
Our journey will begin with a breathtaking view of the old town and Diocletian's palace. Then, we will walk to our first stop. A bite of Dalmatian delicates and I will share some local stories and tell you about the ways we prepare food.
This is where we'll stop to talk to vendors, see what they've made, and taste it. Farmers' products tell the most compelling stories.
Did you know Split was born within the walls of the Diocletian palace? We will walk around to see ancient houses blended with modern architectural solutions. We will start our journey below the city and walk our way up to the narrow streets and modern city of Split.
We'll make a delightful stop to taste award-winning chocolate directly from a local producer at their cozy mini shop.
On our way to make a wish by rubbing a toe on the majestic Grgur Ninski statue, we will stop to taste the award-winning local chocolate.

About Split
Split is a busy Dalmatian port built within and around a Roman emperor's palace, with ferries to some of Croatia's loveliest islands.
Diocletian's Palace, built around the turn of the fourth century as the emperor's retirement home, is the old town itself: its walls, cellars and courtyards hold homes, shops and cafés. The Peristyle, the colonnaded heart, leads to the Cathedral of St Domnius, once the emperor's mausoleum, and its bell tower gives views over the rooftops.
Top-ranked sights in Split: Budikovac Island (Veliki Budikovac), Blue Lagoon Croatia (Krknjasi Bay), Peristyle Square (Peristil).
