Description

Here’s a great tour combination for you, a Salona and Fortress of Klis Tour! First, a car, van or a minibus will take you to the remains of the ancient Split suburbs, once known as Salona, where you will gaze upon the ruins of a once grand cultural hotspot. The town of Solin developed on the ancient ruins of Salona. In the late ancient times, Salona had great political and religious influence. Salona was founded after the Roman civil war under Julius Caesar and it was a striving town, three times bigger than Pompeii. Today, Solin is a beautiful town, popular with both locals and tourists. Afterwards, you will visit the Fortress of Klis, a fort with the best view of Split and the surrounding areas. The Fortress of Klis has a history of more than 2000 years, starting with the Illyrian tribe called Dalmatae that used it as a stronghold before it was occupied by the Romans. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the site became a seat for Croatian kings. The famous series Game Of Thrones was filmed there, so if you are a fan, this is a must!
