Discover Salona – The Ancient Roman Capital of Dalmatia
The first stop on your journey is Salona, one of the most important archaeological sites in Croatia.
More than two thousand years ago, Salona was the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia and one of the largest cities on the eastern Adriatic coast.
Today, visitors can walk among remarkably preserved Roman ruins and imagine what life looked like during the height of the Roman Empire.
Ancient city walls, temples, early Christian basilicas, baths and public squares reveal the importance of Salona as a political, religious and cultural centre.
One of the highlights of the site is the impressive Roman amphitheatre, where gladiators once entertained thousands of spectators.
Walking through Salona feels like stepping back into ancient history, making it an unforgettable experience for history lovers and curious travellers alike.
Klis Fortress – A Fortress Above Split
After visiting Salona, the journey continues to the magnificent Klis Fortress.
Standing high above the city of Split, this impressive medieval fortress has protected Dalmatia for centuries.
Thanks to its strategic location between the mountains and the Adriatic Sea, Klis played a crucial role in defending the region throughout history.
Visitors can explore ancient stone walls, towers and defensive passages while enjoying panoramic views stretching across Split, the Adriatic coastline and nearby islands.
The fortress has become internationally recognised as one of the filming locations for the popular television series Game of Thrones, attracting visitors from around the world.
Whether you are interested in medieval history, military architecture or simply spectacular scenery, Klis Fortress is one of the highlights of this private day trip.
Experience One of the Best Views in Dalmatia
Few places offer views as impressive as those from Klis Fortress.
From the fortress walls, visitors can admire Split, the Adriatic Sea, surrounding mountains and several Dalmatian islands all at once.
The panoramic scenery makes Klis one of the most photographed locations near Split.
Many guests enjoy taking their time here, capturing unforgettable photographs while learning about the fortress's fascinating history.
Explore the UNESCO Town of Trogir
The final destination of the day is Trogir, one of Croatia's most beautiful historic towns and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Situated on a small island connected by bridges to the mainland, Trogir is famous for its remarkably preserved medieval architecture, charming stone streets and lively waterfront promenade.
Walking through the historic centre, visitors discover beautiful squares, ancient palaces, churches and traditional Dalmatian buildings that reflect centuries of history.
One of the town's greatest landmarks is the Cathedral of St. Lawrence, renowned for its magnificent Romanesque portal created by Master Radovan.
