Along the way, we stop for a unique oyster tasting experience in the area of Ston, famous for its centuries-old oyster and mussel cultivation. Set in a rustic, waterfront setting, this experience introduces us to freshly harvested oysters served straight from the sea, paired with local wine.

We explore the charming town of Stari Grad, one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements in Europe, originally founded as the Greek colony of Pharos in the 4th century BC.
Rather than a classic guided tour, this immersive experience reveals the town through engaging narratives, legends, and lesser-known stories passed down through generations. As we wander through narrow stone streets and quiet squares, we hear tales of ancient Greek settlers, Venetian influence, and the everyday life of past centuries. Special attention is given to notable figures connected to the town, including the celebrated Croatian poet Petar Hektorović, whose legacy still shapes the cultural identity of the area. Through these stories, the town becomes a living stage where history, literature, and local traditions intertwine, offering a deeper and more personal understanding of the destination.
We then continue to the nearby Stari Grad Plain, a remarkable cultural landscape protected by UNESCO. Established by Greek colonists, the plain has preserved its original agricultural parceling system for over 2,000 years. The geometric layout of stone walls and pathways still follows the ancient Greek division of land known as chora, making it one of the most intact examples of this system in the Mediterranean.
Here, we enjoy an authentic culinary experience set in the heart of the fields. Surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, and dry-stone walls, we take part in a hands-on cooking class inspired by traditional island recipes. Using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, we prepare seasonal dishes that reflect the simplicity and richness of Hvar’s gastronomy. The experience concludes with a relaxed meal in a peaceful rural setting, offering a true taste of island life.
The evening is at leisure, allowing time to enjoy the relaxed rhythm, cuisine, and atmosphere of Hvar Island.
In the early morning, we depart from Hvar and travel towards Split, continuing along the scenic Dalmatian coast to the historic town of Omiš.
Dramatically set at the mouth of the Cetina River and framed by steep cliffs, Omiš is a place where natural beauty meets a fascinating past. Once a notorious pirate stronghold, the town controlled key maritime routes in the Adriatic during the Middle Ages. Today, its legacy lives on through atmospheric stone streets and ancient fortresses rising above the town, offering breathtaking views over the river canyon and coastline.

We then continue into the peaceful hinterland for an authentic gastronomic experience at a family-run estate. Here, we are introduced to soparnik, a traditional Dalmatian specialty protected as intangible cultural heritage. Prepared from thin dough filled with Swiss chard, garlic, and olive oil, it is baked directly on a stone hearth under glowing embers, resulting in a delicate texture and distinctive, lightly smoky flavor.
This is complemented by dishes prepared peka-style, a time-honored method of slow cooking meat or seafood with vegetables under a bell-shaped lid covered in embers. The result is exceptionally tender, aromatic dishes that embody the essence of Dalmatian countryside cuisine.
In the afternoon, we return to Split. The evening is at leisure—perfect for a relaxed stroll along the vibrant Riva or for enjoying a glass of local wine in one of the city’s inviting wine bars.
After breakfast, we set out towards Krka National Park, one of Croatia’s most stunning natural treasures. Known for its series of cascading waterfalls and emerald river landscapes, Krka offers a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage.

As we explore the park, we discover traditional watermills (mlinice) and a small ethnographic village that illustrates the way of life once closely tied to the river. These restored structures showcase historic crafts, grain milling techniques, and everyday rural life, offering insight into how generations lived in harmony with the surrounding nature. The park itself is distinguished by its travertine barriers—natural formations created over thousands of years—making it one of the most distinctive river ecosystems in Europe.
We then continue into the Dalmatian hinterland, where the landscape and climate shift under the influence of the river, creating fertile conditions ideal for agriculture. Here, we visit a traditional tavern set in a peaceful rural setting, known for its deeply authentic approach to local cuisine. The menu reflects time-honored recipes prepared with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients—homemade cured meats, slow-cooked dishes, and hearty specialties that celebrate the richness of inland Dalmatia. The atmosphere is warm and unpretentious, offering a genuine connection to local culture and hospitality.
In the afternoon, we return to Split for a guided walking tour through its historic core. At the heart of the city lies the remarkable Diocletian's Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best-preserved Roman monuments in the world. Built in the 4th century as a retirement residence for the Roman Emperor Diocletian, the palace today forms a living part of the city. We explore its labyrinth of narrow streets, the atmospheric substructures (cellars), and the impressive Cathedral of Saint Domnius—originally the emperor’s mausoleum and today considered one of the oldest buildings in the world still in use as a cathedral.
The day concludes with a truly exceptional dining experience at a refined restaurant awarded a Michelin Guide star. Set in an elegant yet contemporary space, the cuisine is modern and creative, rooted in Dalmatian tradition but reimagined through innovative techniques and artistic presentation. Each dish highlights the finest seasonal ingredients, paired with carefully curated wines, delivering a sophisticated and memorable gastronomic journey.
This final evening represents the true culmination of the journey—a celebration of Croatia’s rich heritage, diverse landscapes, and outstanding culinary scene, bringing the entire experience to a perfect and unforgettable close.
