Itinerary
Our tour will start at the beautiful heart of Split, called the Riva. This is our living room — a place where we locals love to spend most of our time.
We will enter the substructure of Diocletian’s Palace. There, we will witness the passage of time and brilliant Roman architecture.
The main square of the Emperor’s Palace is surrounded by majestic Egyptian columns and a sphinx.
The Golden Gate is the most recognized and luxurious entrance to the palace. It’s such a strategic approach.
Our beautiful Venetian medieval square features a majestic Gothic city hall. Locally, it’s called the People’s Square, or “Pjaca.”
We save the best for last: a local wine tasting featuring wines exclusively from this region. Croatian wines that I’m positive will literally blow your mind, accompanied by intriguing stories about the wines and their origins. Enjoy some local bites like prosciutto, cheese, olive oil, and bread.

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).
