Description

Your adventure begins at the legendary Klis Fortress, a symbol of resilience and one of Dalmatia’s most significant historical landmarks. Perched high between the Kozjak and Mosor mountains, this fortress has guarded the passage between the Dalmatian coast and its hinterland. Over the centuries, Klis served as a royal stronghold for Croatian dukes and kings and became a pivotal battleground during wars with the Ottoman Empire. As you follow its ancient walls and listen to the story, you will be able to enjoy stunning panoramic views of Split and the Adriatic Sea. Next, we’ll visit the delightful Stella Croatica Ethno-Agro Park, where local tradition and gastronomy come to life. This quiet estate showcases the production of authentic Dalmatian plant-based products and traditional pastries. You will join a guided tour through the production lane, botanical garden and Olive Museum where you’ll hear the fascinating history of olive cultivation and its cultural significance in the region. At the end, you can taste these local delights and have the opportunity to buy them as a gift for your friends and family at home.
