Let’s Set The Scene

Getting away from the city you will travel to a small village close to Split where you will make your own lunch and try making Soparnik – Swiss chard pie which is traditional for the area you’re visiting. Poljički Soparnik is listed as intangible cultural heritage of Croatia and can be made only in the area where you will be.

This area stretches all the way to Omiš and was called in late Middle Ages Poljička republika (Republic of Poljica). This area was well known for their Poljica Statute showing how independent and literate this republic was at the time with no aristocracy to rule them.
