Highlights of Split and Trogir area private tour

The pick-up is usually arranged right at your hotel or apartment, or at the cruise ship port gate. All that follows is optional, and can be selected according to your circumstances. Feel free to arrange the itinerary beforehand with our travel agent, or ask your tour guide forassistance in devising your travel plan.

Trogir
Your tour guide/driver will suggest you first visit Trogir, a UNESCO World Heritage site, situated some 25 kilometres away from Split. As you approach Trogir in an air-conditioned luxury sedan or minivan, you will learn a lot about Croatia and Split.
The walking tour of Trogir consists of a gentle stroll through the medieval labyrinth of streets of this charming island-town. The central square is dominated by the fascinating Cathedral of St. Lawrence, famous for its grand Romanesque portal from 1242.
After the tour, you will be encouraged to join hundreds of tourists, and locals likewise, basking in the sun at the Trogir waterfront (the Riva), sipping their morning coffee and practising Dalmatian favourite pastime: people watching.

Split
A guided visit of the historic centre of Split is both the most essential and the most fascinating feature of the entire trip: Ancient Roman imperial palace that has evolved into a thriving city, with layers upon layers of architectural styles creating a mesmerising effect.
Let your private guide weave Egyptian sphynxes, Roman temples, renaissance chapels and a baroque Sephardic synagogue into an incredible story.
Not surprisingly, UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, classified ancient Split and its Emperor Diocletian’s palace as part of the worldheritage of history.

Salona
The ruins of former Roman capital of Dalmatia, Salona, may remind you of Pompeii. The destruction of this, once upon a time, large city, took place in the 7 th century AD, never to be inhabited again. The most famous feature of Salona are its pagan and Early Christian cemeteries, with dozens of well-preserved sarcophagi.
Another impressive sight is a Roman amphitheatre, originally able to take 18.000 blood- thirsty spectators. Although much of its stone has been “recycled”, one can still feel the power of this site. Allow your tour guide to bring Salona back to life right in front of your eyes.

Kaštela
Possibly the most underestimated part of the greater Split area, Kaštela consists of seven waterfront “castles”, tiny fortified islands, or renaissance structures, surrounded by a moat, i.e. the Adriatic Sea.
Your guide/driver may take you to see the Vitturi family castle in Kaštel Lukšić or Kaštilac, a picturesque structure in Kaštel Gomilica.
As a bonus feature, ask your driver to take you to the oldest olive tree in Dalmatia, dating
back to Roman times and still bearing fruit.

Klis
A strategically crucial fortress hovering over Split, Klis attracted the producers of the popular series Game of Thrones. With couple of photoshopped corrections, the Kliss Fortress became the slave-owners’ City of Meereen.
As you climb up the gravity-defying walls and structures, expect to be blown away by the spectacular view of Split, Trogir, the Dalmatian islands and the picture-perfect Adriatic Sea.

Stella Croatica
Found just a 5-minutes-drive away from the Klis Fortress, the Stella Croatica complex offers a treat for all senses. Admission to Stella Croatica is free to the holders of tickets to Klis Fortress (7 € per person).
Observe the mouth-watering process of the production of Dalmatian sweets, walk through the richly scented Mediterranean garden and visit the educative Olive oil museum
Taste a wide array of fresh cheeses, cured meats and olive tapenades and great local wines. A traditional tavern at Stella Croatica, or konoba, is famous for its delicious, home-made ready
meals, perfect for a light lunch or dinner.
