About this tour
This session pairs the Silver Gate, one of Diocletian's Palace's four original entrances, with the covered fish market that has traded just outside it for generations. You see the gate's plainer, more functional style compared to the grander Golden Gate, then the market stalls themselves as the morning trade gets going. It ties Roman stonework to a market still working the same way today.
We start at the gate with a sound check, then move into the market for the second stop, taking questions about the stallholders and the catch that day. I send a short list of what was on offer once the call ends.
It suits anyone curious about where Split's seafood actually comes from. It also suits an early booking, since the market is busiest before mid-morning.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
- A close look at the dishes and where locals buy them
- A short list of places and dishes to try later
Not included
- Food and drinks shown on camera
- Travel to the city
Itinerary

The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Split before heading out.
-
Silver Gate 15 min
The camera looks up at the Silver Gate, one of the palace's four original entrances, and I point out how it differs in style from the grander Golden Gate.
-
The fish market 15 min
Just beyond it, I walk the covered fish market, and I explain why the sea air keeps the smell famously mild even without refrigeration.
-
Your questions 7 min
Time to ask anything about Split: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Croatian wine and Varoš, worth a slower look.
Good to know
- A stable wifi or mobile connection makes the picture smoother than a shaky one.

- The session is not recorded, and recording it yourself is not allowed. Feel free to take your own notes.
- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 8 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
Questions about this tour
What will the session cover?
The guide walks through Split, showing you Silver Gate and The fish market live on camera, plus whatever else you would like to see.
What happens if my connection drops?
Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Do I need to buy or cook anything?
No. This is a conversation: the guide describes the dishes and where to find them, so you can try them yourself whenever suits you.
