Description

Discover the vibrant culinary diversity of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Split on our exclusive guided tour and taste the traditional Dalmatian peka dish, where meat and potatoes are cooked under hot ashes for several hours.

Your culinary journey begins with your guide picking you up either at your hotel or at the bronze model of the Old Town on the Riva.
The tour also has some highlights in store for history lovers. Before we explore the market, we will take you through the amazingly well-preserved palace cellars.

As soon as you emerge from the cellars of Diocletian's Palace and enter the majestic peristyle, adorned with Egyptian columns, you will find yourself in the center of the former imperial palace.

Stroll through the main Roman street and enjoy the lively atmosphere as you reach the east gate of the palace, your entrance to the bustling green market. Here you'll have the opportunity to sample a variety of local delicacies, from hearty prosciutto to artisan cheeses and freshly baked bread. Immerse yourself in these authentic flavors.

As you stroll through the charming alleyways of the palace, your guide will tell you interesting anecdotes about the history of the palace. Taste treats from a local chocolate factory before indulging in specialties such as burek and Čevapćići, which are part of the authentic cuisine of the region.

Experience iconic landmarks such as Marmontova, the bustling main shopping street, and Prokurative, which offers a picturesque view of the sea. To top off your culinary journey, enjoy lunch at a traditional Dalmatian restaurant, where you will try the traditional peka dish with a choice of beef, lamb or octopus, accompanied by a tasting of local wines.
This tour promises an unforgettable experience where taste and history come together to form a harmonious whole.
