A few days ago I was asked to be a guest on the ever so unique Game of Thrones tour, presented by Split travel agency Vetus Itinera. This tour was specifically crafted to visit the Game of Thrones filming locations within the center of Split, as well as a few other special and noteworthy locations in the surrounding towns. A 6 hour tour on a Split summer day that was blowing an unlikely cool wind, I knew I was in for a treat.

The hit HBO show has brought the beauty of Croatia into millions of homes, and the search engines are reflecting that interest. 

Journalists and travel agents from the Czech Republic visited Vrlika, Sinj, and Trilj as part of a tourism promotion for the Dalmatian hinterland.

It seems that 90% of the world’s population either watches or has at least seen an episode of Game of Thrones. Arguably the largest phenomenon of the decade, you’re either hearing about it, talking about it, or trying to live it. Which brings us to our next point: in Croatia, we are lucky enough to boast many of the filming locations in Game of Thrones, and we’re here to tell you about one of the best tours to live, breathe, and be as close as you can to the Game of Thrones lifestyle.

Klis and its fortress became a must visit destination for all those Game of Thrones fans out there. And although the crew moved to to Dubrovnik, Klis fortress is waiting for all of you to explore its beautiful views.

Tomorrow, May 18, 2016, the Minister of Culture Zlatko Hasanbegović will arrive to the Split-Dalmatia County for a 2 day visit.

While celebrating its 5th anniversary in Varaždin, Jakov Vetma, the Klis mayor was voted to become the new chairman of the association, informs Dalmacija News.

Klis Mayor Jakov Vetma presented Klis at the 2nd Tourism & Strategy festival in Dubrovnik.

Financed by the Ministry of Culture and the Municipality of Klis, the second floor of the school building was transformed into a new library, informs Klis.hr.

If there’s one thing Klis is renowned for more than anything else it is most definitely the restaurants. However, most surprisingly, these restaurants are famous for just one thing on their menu and that is the mouth-watering lamb. Whole lambs are roasted slowly on a spit for hours at a time throughout the day meaning you never have to order in advance or wait too long to get your slice or kilo of the succulent, salty meat. Konobas (traditional Dalmatian wine cellars) also exist in Klis and along with pršut and cheese appetizers can also prepare a variety of peka dishes accompanied by fresh vegetable salads and perfectly roasted potatoes. As the name suggests, you are supplied with endless glasses of homemade wine and shots of rakija to help wash all the hearty goodness down. Considering most people in Klis grow their own vegetables and make their own pršut, cheese, bread, wine and rakija you can indulge guilt-free knowing that you’re being served the same high quality products used to feed their own families. At the konoba all that non-stop eating and drinking makes people so happy it’s not unusual for them to bust out in song. Traditional klapa or a cappella singing is a staple of the Dalmatian konoba party and prepare to be serenaded late into the night often with the help of an accordion and/ or guitar. No Klis konoba dinner party is complete without at least a little klapa and they usually stick to their favorites which means it won’t take long for you to learn a few lines and join in! Aside from the konoba, locals and visitors can also congregate at several cafe’s and bars around Klis. Oprah Bar right off the main road has an incredible view of Split and the Adriatic and also sits next to the Klis Free Riders motorcycle club. Local riders often gather there before or after their trip and fellow bikers from all over Europe make pit stops here to rest their weary bones along their journey through Croatia. If you’re looking for nightclubs you won’t find them in Klis, but Kameleon club is just a five minute drive away in nearby Solin or keep driving 10 minutes further to enjoy the array of nightlife in Split.
