Overview of your Split tour:

Who is this Mestrovic guy, you may think. Well, “Croatian Michelangelo” as we like to compliment our most prominent artist of the 20th century was originally from the rural Dalmatian village of Otavice, 40 miles from Split. The story of his great international success is set up in the turbulent years of the two world wars and many political changes in his homeland of Croatia. The villa in Split that now houses much of his art was his private investment and design project where he got to live with his family just a few years before the 2nd World War started, after which he decided to move to US. Combining Diocletian’s Palace walking tour with visit to the breathtaking complex of Mestrovic Villa is in my opinion the most mesmerizing tour I offer, combining vibrant old town of Split and serene, tranquil magic of the most prestigious Meje neighborhood where this beautiful villa is located. Moreover, this tour is the most comprehensive overview of the local history, lifestyle and beauty.

Your Split tour itinerary

We'll start our tour by covering the pedestrian UNESCO protected area of the old town of Split including all the nooks and crannies of Diocletian's Palace from the 3rd century AD - from the stunning substructure rooms over the Emperor's Mausoleum and Jupiter's Temple, to the impressive Golden gate, Vestibule area, Peristyle central square and more! The chronological order of our stops is the same as in my ‘Split for beginners’ tour. Afterwards, we'll go on a private drive with chauffeur to reach Villa Mestrović. You'll get to see: - Western waterfront and its "walk of fame" of all sportsmen of Split who won Olympic medal - St. Stephan’s Park, the most romantic place in town - Mestrovic Villa with its lush Mediterranean garden full of impressive marble statues - the collections in all interior rooms including the original dining room - the terrace area with the breathtaking sea view - the chapel & Renaissance summer residency Crikvine Drive back to port/old town.
