This amazing tour is full of history and scenic views, we start by heading to Salona, an ancient Roman city and one of the richest archeological sites in Croatia.

One of the stunning attractions of the tour is the Salona's amphitheater created in the 2nd century AD, this can hold up to17,000 people. Just like the famous film here gladiators would do battle in this historic venue. Here you will learn why part of the amphitheater was deliberately destroyed in the 17th century. While here you will also see the Basilica Urbana with its baptistry, the Forum and Manistirine, the old Christian cemetery.

We then move to the famous Game of Thrones setting Klis Fortress, this is a huge medieval structure created as part of a rocky ridge giving you magnificent views of Split, the Adriatic Sea and all the nearby islands. The Fortress controls the valley heading into Split, the commanding fortress reaches as high as 385m at its tallest point. Throughout the Ottoman invasions of Europe, Kliss Fortress played an important role with is location being very important. However today most of us are Games of Thrones fans and can't wait to see where our favourite show was filmed.

We will wander through the narrow streets through the Renaissance-style buildings and enjoy Baroque and Romanesque architecture.
