Join me on a journey through the rich history of Dalmatia as we walk through the centuries in some of its most iconic locations. Explore the ancient structures of Diocletian’s Palace in Split, stand atop the mighty Klis Fortress, once known as the Key to Dalmatia and stroll the medieval streets of Trogir, a true time capsule of the past. This tour is the perfect blend of history, culture, and breathtaking views, all in one unforgettable day.
We’ll start our day with walking tour of Diocletian’s Palace, where I’ll show you how the palace looked 1,700 years ago. Then we’ll enter the cellars to see how it was built. Next, we’ll walk through the southern part where the Emperor lived, visit the Vestibul (the grand welcome hall), and see the Peristyle, the palace’s main square. We’ll also visit all four gates and stop by the statue of Grgur Ninski, Split’s good luck charm. Finally, we’ll wander through the narrow Kala alleys, which will lead us back to our car for the next destination.
After exploring Split’s Old Town, we’ll drive to Klis Fortress, just a short ride away. Located on a hilltop, Klis offers spectacular views over Split and the islands. There, I’ll tell you about its 2,000-year history as a key defensive stronghold, from Roman times through the Ottoman wars. We’ll walk along the fortress walls, explore old towers and gates, and see where scenes from Game of Thrones were filmed. It’s the perfect spot for panoramic photos and to soak in the rich history before heading to our next destination.
After Klis Fortress, we’ll continue to Trogir, a beautiful historic town on a small island connected by bridges. We’ll walk through its narrow stone streets, see medieval city walls, and visit the main square with the impressive Cathedral of St. Lawrence. You’ll hear about Trogir’s Greek, Roman, and Venetian history, and have time for lunch and to enjoy the waterfront promenade before heading back to Split.
