Gastro Get: Eat Your Way Through Split Traditions
It worked really well this winter, during Advent in Split, so why not repeating winning formula? Gastro Get is coming back around May 7, when Split celebrates a day of its patron saint, Saint Domnio's Day.
Routine remains the same. Several restaurants and bars in the northwest part of the Diocletian's Palace join together in excellent gastronomy event, with menus specially designed for this part of the year, and according to occasion. Everything starts on May 4, and during following four days Split residents and their guests will enjoy some almost forgotten dishes, or their modern interpretation. It will for sure enrich festivities for the city's biggest holiday, locally known as Sudamja (pron. Soodamya). During Christmas and New Year's holidays, streets were packed in this part of town, in spite of cold weather. This part of town, called Get, is attractive for itself as one of the oldest part of medieval Split and combined with good food and drink becomes even better. Also, since it's synchronized with Tourist Board events, we can promise you will have a good time.
