What to expect

  1. Split Aqueduct
    Pass by
    On the way from Split toward Salona, guests will pass near the remains of the ancient Roman aqueduct built to supply Diocletian’s Palace with fresh water. This is not a scheduled walking stop, but the guide will briefly explain how water was brought from the Jadro River near Salona to the emperor’s palace in Split. This part of the drive helps connect ancient Salona, Diocletian’s Palace and the wider Roman infrastructure of the Split area.
  2. Salona archaeological site
    2h · Admission ticket not included
    Guests will explore the ruins of ancient Salona, once the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia and one of the most important cities on the eastern Adriatic. The guide will explain how Salona developed into a major Roman urban centre with city walls, gates, streets, public buildings, residential areas and an impressive amphitheatre.

    Special attention will be given to the Roman amphitheatre, where guests will learn about public spectacles, entertainment and the social life of a Roman provincial city. The tour also includes Salona’s early Christian heritage, with cemeteries, basilicas, martyrs and bishops who made the city an important religious centre before the rise of medieval Split.

    This stop gives guests a deeper understanding of Roman Dalmatia, early Christianity and the importance of Salona in the wider history of the Split region.
  3. Klis Fortress

    Guests will visit Klis Fortress, one of the most impressive historic strongholds in Dalmatia. Located on a mountain pass above Split and Solin, the fortress offers panoramic views of the Adriatic coast, nearby islands and surrounding mountains.

    The guide will explain why Klis was such an important strategic point for centuries, controlling the route between the coast and the Dalmatian hinterland. Guests will walk through the fortress gates, walls, courtyards and viewpoints while learning about medieval rulers, soldiers, sieges and the long struggle for control of this key defensive position.

    This stop combines military history, local stories, dramatic scenery and some of the best views near Split.

This scenic drive adds local context to the journey and helps connect the Roman heritage of Salona, the strategic position of Klis and the medieval history of Trogir.
  5. Trogir
    1h
    Guests will explore the historic town of Trogir, one of the most beautiful medieval towns on the Adriatic coast. Built on a small island between the mainland and Čiovo, Trogir is known for its narrow stone streets, elegant squares, noble palaces, churches and relaxed waterfront atmosphere.

    The guided walk begins near the North Gate and continues toward the main square, where guests will see the Cathedral of Saint Lawrence and the famous Radovan Portal from the outside, together with the town loggia, clock tower and surrounding historic buildings. The guide will explain Trogir’s development through antiquity and the Middle Ages, as well as its importance as a centre of trade, art and architecture.
