Split Old Town Authentic Food Tour with 9 Dishes & Local Wines

Overview

Experience the ultimate Split Food Tour, where you’ll go beyond the tourist traps to eat like a local within the 1,700-year-old walls of Diocletian’s Palace. Led by a local guide, this immersive walking tour dives deep into the Mediterranean flavors and Roman heritage of the Adriatic. Your journey begins at the iconic Gregory of Nin Statue by the Golden Gate, the majestic entrance to the UNESCO-listed Old Town. As you navigate ancient streets, you will visit the city’s oldest bakery for a traditional Dalmatian sweet before heading to the bustling fish market. Savor authentic seafood favorites like anchovy bruschetta, fried fish, and calamari, paired with a glass of crisp Croatian white wine. The experience continues with a guided tasting of the region’s most prized exports: world-class pršut (cured ham), artisanal cheeses, and olive oil.
