Two friends and I planned this very last minute but it turned out to be a real highlight for us. Due to the current situation we were fortunate enough to have the whole place to ourselves but Sadan, the owner made just as much if not more of an effort to make this an amazing experience for us. The view from his first tasting room is incredible and the wine was free flowing while he shared facts about his craft and his life stories which were fascinating. You could tell he was passionate about wine! We ended up staying late talking, enjoying wine (one might say too much as it was as much as you can drink) and lovely cheese, ham and bread to go with it! Wir hatten sehr spontan entschieden diese Tour zu buchen aber es war die absolut richtige Entscheidung. Wir hatten einen tollen Abend mit viel Wein, tollen Geschichten des Eigentümers und Snacks. Allein für die Leidenschaft mit der Sadan, der Eigentümer über Wein und sein Leben spricht sind sie Tour wert. Sehr empfehlenswert.

We had the honor to visit a very small family winery. Vina Perisin. Ivan was adorable and informative. The foods provided complimented the awesome wines. From whites, rose, to my favorite...Red Zinfandel it was all delightful. Then, a surprise dessert brought to us, hot from the oven by his mother. Don't plan anything else...Just experience Ivan, his stories, his food, and of course his great wines. Thank you.

I'm a member of a Club, I had a season ticket, and a stock holder as well... I'm going on Poljud 22 years, but this is the first time to visit stadium inside with guide. My girlfriend and friends from Istria came to Split and I wanted to show them a great history of my football club "Hajduk" Split. You can buy tickets in a fan-shop, 35 HRK per person or 5 €. Stadium was built 1979 for a Mediterranean games, it has 35 000 seats, construction is 20 meters inside the earth, so it's very safe stadium. Yes, stadium needs a new face lifting, they said maybe 13 million euros will do everything... Inside they show you all the trophies around the globe, Hajduk was first team in World who visit every continent... Hajduk played big international match 1944 in Bari (Italy) against British Army, it was a big scream in the World, Hajduk is a honorary team of Free France by Charles de Gaulle ! 18 champions titles, many Cups, Supercups, 5 states, many big players... But...you must be in Split on the match, then you'll see "Torcida", the oldest european ultra fan organization, established 1950 ! Our guide was very knowledgeable, very kind and helpful, recommend !

10. Galerija Mestrovic
Overall Ratings

Galerija Meštrović houses the masterpieces of Ivan Meštrović carved in marble, bronze and wood. The house was built based on Meštrović's design (1931 - 1939), and was intended to be his family summer residence, working studio and exhibition space. It is surrounded by a Mediterranean garden which, with its bronze sculptures and the view of the sea and of central Dalmatian islands makes a unique example of landscape architecture.

Before going, you want to check to make sure the gallery will be open. If you walk, you will probably need 45-50 minutes to reach the Gallery from Diocletian’s Palace (as an example of a starting point). It is a pleasant walk, although slightly uphill at the end. If the temperature and humidity are oppressive you may want to consider public transportation. I am no help there, since I walked in May when the weather was very pleasant. However, you get there, if you appreciate art and artists, the trip will be well worth your time. His work (mostly bronze and marble statues) is remarkable. You can anticipate perhaps 1 hour in the gallery. After that you will want to take the 10-minute walk down and across the road to visit his chapel, which includes a lovely courtyard and large wood bas-relief carvings Mestrovic created to line the walls of his chapel. The walk to the chapel and your time there will probably take around 45 minutes total. So, with the walk to the gallery, time at the gallery and time at the chapel, you can probably count on 3 hours total. If you are adventuresome, we followed the shoreline from the chapel back into Split. It was about an hour walk back, but it was a pleasant surprise on a beautiful day. The path first passes through a small park with a public ocean swimming area, then past an Olympic swimming facility, through more park and then to the Split Marina. The views of Split from the marina are spectacular. I honestly had never heard of Ivan Meštrović prior to our 3-week trip through Croatia, but, having now been there, I have a true appreciation for the man’s art and his importance to the country of Croatia. Although the Gallery and Chapel are the places to see the largest collections of his work, other works are literally found throughout the country. So, if you plan to travel elsewhere in Croatia beyond Split, stay alert for his name and his works.
