Split Hidden Gems: Imotski Lakes, Wine & Dine
Discover Croatia's inland wonders through its lakes, landscapes, and time-honored flavors.
A full-day escape from the coast, this tour brings you face to face with the Imotski Lakes, two of Croatia's most remarkable natural formations, paired with an authentic countryside dining experience that few visitors ever find on their own.
The journey begins with a comfortable pickup from your accommodation in Split, followed by a scenic drive inland toward Imotski, a town that sits far from the usual tourist trail. Here, dramatic limestone terrain gives way to the striking Red Lake and Blue Lake, geological marvels carved deep into the karst landscape over millennia.
After taking in the lakes, guests board quad bikes for a ride through the surrounding terrain, pausing at a viewpoint that frames both lakes in a single breathtaking panorama. The experience is leisurely and accessible, designed for travelers who want something active without it being strenuous.
The day concludes with a traditional Croatian meal in a local setting, where Peka, slow-cooked veal prepared under a cast-iron bell, is served alongside homemade wine produced in the region. This is the kind of meal that takes time to prepare and even longer to forget, enjoyed at the pace of Imotski itself.
