Off the Beaten Path (2015) : 7x23

Split is the main city of the Split Dalmatia region, known for its vibrant tourism, coastline, mountains, vineyards, and olive groves. With an airport, a major port, and a rich history, it is considered one of the oldest cities in the world and a key cultural centre of Dalmatia. Our guide is Jaro, a 68 year old who proudly calls himself a Dalmatian. Originally from Slovakia, he studied civil engineering in Žilina and spent years working abroad before settling in Split nine years ago. Together with his wife Lydka, he has embraced life by the sea. Through their eyes, we explore Dalmatian cuisine, centred around fresh fish, seafood, and lamb. We also try local specialties such as frogs and prepare traditional dishes like soparnik and burek.
