pinku fish & wine
New place in town
The restaurant Pinku was recently opened at the address Obrov 4 close to Fish market. It is dedicated to fish, so you can enjoy fish specialties that will often be paired with a glass of fine wine. The fish will arrive on your plate fresh, directly from the catch, and what makes the dishes special, is that they will all be served in unusual combinations. As they point out, in Pinku you will actually get a fusion of the traditional and the international.
diocletian’s dream
A New Virtual Reality Attraction in Split Transports You Back to 305
Meet virtual reality experience Diocletian’s Dream.
‘Wow, where do we live?’, is the first thing you might say after watching the first 3D animated film ‘Diocletian’s Dream’. That sentence is the best indicator that the duo who started the original experience, Tomo Taraš and Declan O’Rourke, succeeded in the idea in which they invested many years of effort, knowledge and resources.
Dalmatinski Portal reports that the project began more than two years ago, and the story itself leads to the year 305 and the time of Emperor Diocletian.
“The goal was to tell the story in a new and original way that opens a completely new perspective towards the approach and presentation of cultural and historical heritage. Virtual reality is the language of new generations and those who are open to something new, interesting and educational,” describes Taraš.
In case you have never heard of Diocletian, through 15 minutes of animated film you will learn a number of interesting facts about the history and life of one of the most prominent emperors of the Roman Empire.
In the film, you climb to the top of the Palace, look at the Vestibule from above, bathe in the sea, and while the unique action lasts, learn about the history of a unique city with the narration of one of the most recognisable citizens of Split from the cult music group TBF.
“We wanted something different and new and that’s how the idea was born. We are delighted with the reactions, and our goal was to be a fun, educational and factual film,” Taraš adds.
“We would be very glad to be able to interest the younger generations who will recognise the fascinating history of our city where one of the greatest Roman emperors lived and one of the most fascinating buildings of that time which significantly influenced the architecture of the empire – and beyond,” he said.
The doors to Diocletian’s Dream opened a few days ago on Zagrebačka Street, across from the walls of Cornaro and Đardin, and word has quickly spread about the unique experience. Nevertheless, they are currently running promotional prices.

stella croatica
The ethno – agro park “Stella Croatica” is located in the region of Dalmatia in a Croatian town Klis located around a mountain fortress bearing the same name. It is chosen as the ideal historical, geographical and gastronomic intersection of different cultures and influences.
It’s part of the Stella Mediterranea complex where you will have the opportunity to get acquainted with Dalmatian delicacies, ecological products and the entire heritage of Dalmatinska Zagora.
„Stella Croatica”, for decades mainly produces indigenous Dalmatian products: limuncini or arancini (traditional sweets such from lemons and orange bark, fruit salami, smokvenjak (a Dalmatian specialty of dried figs, almonds, brandy and fennel), delicious jams and other delicacies that are region-specific.
The agro-ethno village is divided into two parts. In one section there is a trade and interpretation centre of Stella’s production because tourists and visitors really like listening to the stories about olive and almond growing, the process of making oil, oranges, and figs – while the second part is for relaxation, walking, enjoying and learning. Here is a botanical collection in several parts, and it is the only private botanical collection in Croatia. The botanical collection makes an attractive, creative and unique tourist product!
The construction of the Klis complex started in 2011 on the basis of a family farm from the island of Mljet. Along with the production, this area is the only private botanical collection in Croatia. The Botanic Garden in Zagreb also granted them the right to plant and breed endemic plant species!
The agro-ethno village emerged in response to the question of interested tourists “How did people live here before?” The old authentic village turned out to be a great idea as it presents a complete ethnological collection and culture of life in the Dalmatian Zagora through the life of one family. The Ethnographic Museum from Split helped in the realisation of this amazing idea.
Listening to the needs of foreign tourists who are no longer looking for a ‘regular’ souvenir, rather than a bottle of domestic wine, autochthonous olive oil and experience have led to real success! All products are made with love and try to preserve the richness of Dalmatian aroma!
