• Riva Harbor - We’ll start our tour on the Riva waterfront. Riva is where we spend our winter, drinking coffee & enjoying the sun. Every generation in Split has a favourite corner on the Riva promenade, and every corner hides a story.
  Join me for a tour of the Split old town. Let’s have a great time exploring the centuries-old tradition of tasteful food. I will share the forgotten stories and show you the unusual but functional architecture in the old town and the Palace area.

• Temple of Jupiter - Leaving the waterfront, we will enter the Substructures of the Palace and walk towards the Temple of Jupiter. The location was chosen to signify the divine connection between the emperor Diocletian and Jupiter. The Ancient Roman God of the sky and thunder & king of the Gods.
  During the Middle Ages, the Temple was converted into a baptistery dedicated to St. John the Baptist

• Let Me Pass (Pusti me da prodjem) Street - On our way to see the temple of Jupiter, we will walk through a small street, placed between the ancient temple and medieval building - now a hotel. Local people believe this is the narrowest street in town. The local name is “The let me pass street”.

• The Peristyle of Diocletian’s Palace - Leaving small narrow streets we are now at Peristil, the open space of the imperial square. I will share intriguing stories that happened behind the city walls, stories about traditional and modern Split and our slow way of life (pomalo = take it easy, way of life).

• Cathedral of Saint Domnius - Standing on the only square within the palace - Peristil, you can not miss seeing the beautiful and tall bell tower. Almost hidden behind it, protected, is the Cathedral of Split. One of the smallest and oldest cathedrals in the world.

• Nadalina cokolada - The day is better if we add a bit of chocolate to it. Walking towards the end of our tour, we will stop at one of my favourite chocolate places- Nadalina. I will share some stories about food production, while we have samples of locally flavoured chocolate.

• The Golden Gate - The Golden Gate (Latin: Porta Aurea) is one of the four main Roman gates into the Diocletian’s Palace. The gate is on the road to the north, towards Salona, the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia and Diocletian’s birthplace. You will hear about the antique military strategy in the Palace and discover some hidden buildings nearby.

• Grgur Ninski Statue - The northern wall of the Place, in front of the sculpture of Grgur Ninski, is where we will end our tour. Here, we are surrounded by the 4th-century antique wall, 20th-century art and modern life today. We will respect the local tradition here and make a wish.
  Thank you for walking with me and allowing me to share my love for my town with you.
