Description

Discover the vibrant culinary diversity of Split, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on this exclusive guided tour and taste the traditional Dalmatian peka dish, where meat and potatoes are slowly cooked under hot ashes. Your culinary journey begins when your guide meets you either at your hotel or at the bronze model of the Old Town on the Riva.
Before exploring the local market, you will walk through the remarkably preserved cellars of Diocletian’s Palace. Emerging into the impressive Peristyle, surrounded by ancient columns, you will find yourself in the very heart of the former imperial palace. From there, stroll along the main Roman street toward the lively green market, where you will sample local specialties such as prosciutto, artisan cheeses, and freshly baked bread.
As you wander through the charming streets of the palace, your guide will share fascinating stories about Split’s history. Along the way, taste sweets from a local chocolate maker and regional favorites such as burek and ćevapčići. You will also pass landmarks such as Marmontova, Split’s main shopping street, and the beautiful Prokurative square overlooking the sea.
To complete your culinary experience, enjoy lunch in a traditional Dalmatian restaurant and taste the famous peka dish with a choice of beef, lamb, or octopus, accompanied by a selection of local wines.
