Guide #69205

Split native, licensed guide & Game of Thrones extra — my family has lived here for 500 years. I was an extra on Game of Thrones — filmed right here, in the streets and fortresses I'll show you. And my family has lived in Split and the Kaštela region for over 500 years, so when I say this is my home, I mean it in a way few guides can. History isn't my job; it's my inheritance. I wrote my first paper on Diocletian's Palace when I was eleven years old. Both of my grandmothers lived to nearly a hundred, and the stories they passed down to me — of emperors, kings, Ottoman sieges and fishing villages — are the same stories I'll pass on to you, standing in the exact places where they happened. On my tours you get two worlds in one: the fantasy of Westeros (I'll tell you what it was really like on set when HBO turned our palace into Meereen and our castles into Braavos) and the true history behind it — which, I promise you, is even more dramatic than the show. I'm a fully licensed guide for both the Split-Dalmatia and Šibenik-Knin regions, which means I can legally guide you everywhere that matters: Diocletian's Palace, Trogir, Klis Fortress, Salona, the Kaštela castles, Šibenik and Krka National Park, Hvar, and the local wineries where I know the winemakers by name. When I'm not guiding, you'll find me in my olive grove on Kozjak mountain above the bay — my family has been growing olives here for generations. That's the Dalmatia I want to show you: not just the monuments, but the life between them. Coffee by the sea, wine in a village tourists never find, and stories you won't read in any guidebook. Come see Dalmatia through the eyes of someone whose roots here go back five centuries. I'll take care of the rest.
