As always we have a STAYlicious tour for you. This one might start in Split or surroundings…Trogir..
Join us on this unique tour and find out the history and secrets of the once independent state Poljica Republic; groups of villages of extremely rich history located on the slopes of Mount Mosor.
Once a defending barrier from Turks, ancient Poljica stands proudly today with its great history and unparalleled beauty.
After the short history lesson on the location of the Saint George church, you will see one of the best local secrets and breathtaking views of the canyon of the river Cetina and the pirate town – today is known as Omiš.
It’s crucial to point out that The Republic did not have a ruler in one person. The people once a year elected their representative, the Grand Duke.
The fact that Thomas Moore’s visit allegedly inspired him to write his famous work, Utopia, speaks volumes about the quality of life in this small Republic.
The Soparnik
The next stop is the demonstration of making and degustation of Soparnik, intangible heritage of Croatian gastronomy, savory pie with a filling of Swiss chard, chopped onions, parsley, and olive oil.
It is the most famous specialty of the Dalmatian region of Poljica. Soparnik is a non-material national heritage of Croatia certified with a specific geographical origin. After homemade brandy, wine, and degustation, we will visit the statue Mila Gojsalic and find out how one woman’s bravery saved Republic. And if you think that is all we have a surprise, we left the best for the end. We will have a small river cruise where you will enjoy the beauty of the river Cetina and learn about famous pirates of town Omiš and piracy in this water.
