Embark on a journey to explore the ancient Klis Fortress, famously known as the city of Mereen in the hit TV series, Game of Thrones. Delve into the 2,000-year-old fortress and witness where some iconic TV scenes were shot. While immersing yourself in history, soak in breathtaking panoramic views of Split, the Adriatic Sea, and the distant islands!

Klis Fortress holds significant historical importance in Croatian heritage, dating back to the time when the Dalmatae, an Illyrian tribe, used it as a strategic stronghold. Subsequently, the Romans claimed the fortress, with remnants of the ancient Roman settlement visible in nearby Solin, once one of the Roman Empire’s largest forts. Following the decline of the Roman Empire, the fortress became a stronghold for Croatian kings, defending the region against threats from the Mongols and Ottomans.

Despite its rich historical background, Klis remains relatively undiscovered by tourists, offering visitors the opportunity to wander freely and explore at their own pace. Post-exploring the fortress, venture into the picturesque local countryside adorned with rolling hills and vineyards. Indulge in a guided tour and tasting at a charming local winery, culminating in a delectable lunch featuring authentic traditional cuisine.
