We'll start at the city model, where we'll bring the past to life with stories about the founder of the city, Roman Emperor Diocletian, and explore his habits, food traditions, and the lifestyle he enjoyed during the Roman Empire.
Then we will visit the beautiful cellars of the Roman Diocletian's Palace, famous for their massive pillars, arches, and stone vaults that have withstood the test of time for more than 1,700 years.
The first highlight of the day is an oyster tasting served with a glass of champagne or local white wine, where you will experience the true essence of the Mediterranean lifestyle. Fresh oysters, harvested directly from the sea, are considered a natural delicacy and a famous aphrodisiac. This perfect combination of nature, tradition, and the sea reflects the authentic spirit of the Adriatic coast that we proudly bring to life every day.
The Golden Gate, once the main entrance for Emperor Diocletian and his cavalry, still stands proudly as the gateway to his private apartments inside Diocletian's Palace. These ancient walls continue to tell stories that have survived through centuries of history. Nearby stands the unique and impressive statue of Gregory of Nin, a symbol of Croatian heritage and one of the most famous landmarks in Split.
Fruit Square is a unique and charming part of the old town, where local people once came every day to buy fresh ingredients for their traditional Mediterranean lunch and daily life. For centuries, this lively square was an important center of trade, gathering fishermen, farmers, and merchants from the surrounding region.
The second highlight is a delicious shrimp risotto with lemon or traditional rooster risotto, served with a glass of champagne or local white wine. Here you can experience the unique combination of fresh seafood flavors, delicate Mediterranean aromas, and the rich mineral character of local cuisine perfectly paired with the region’s wine culture and tradition. This authentic blend of food, sea, and lifestyle represents the true spirit of Dalmatia—and perhaps the secret of living a long and happy life.
