I can't pick a favorite part because everything about this experience was FANTASTIC! Ante, Vibor - our guide who gave us a lot of information about Croatia and Bosnia-Herzgovinia, Senka Rupčić - who is a great cook and hostess, the FOOD, the scenery! The food was incomparable - everything fresh, natural, LOCAL, and all beautifully prepared. And what you eat - and you will eat, be full, and try to figure out how to eat more! - you can often bring home, as the wine, liqueurs, jams, pomegranate syrup can be purchased, and you will want them all. We were served GENEROUS portions of fresh cheeses, prosciutto, bread, jams, cherries, strawberries, olives, and more - and that was just brunch. For lunch we had veal and potatoes prepared in the traditional manner under the Peka - a process that takes place right in front of you - and it was absolutely the best veal I have had, plus a lovely salad, fresh tomatoes, and bread. All followed by something I will call cheesecake, but was so much better than cheesecake. And there us wine - white, red, whatever you prefer, and a cherry liqueur and a walnut digestif! If you do one day trip from Split - and we did one 4 other than this one - pick this one. You will not regret it.
Our trip with Ante was absolutely unforgettable. In addition to being a wonderful guide and great person, our trip was comfortable, informative, and fun. The vehicle was clean and VERY comfortable. We got to see and hear the local perspective of a region we never knew was so accessible and charming. The meal with Ante and his family was legitimately the best meal we've eaten in a long time, and getting to see where it came from, the history behind it, and everything else made it such a special time.
Whatever your plans in the area are, I would strongly recommend leaving a day free to go spend time with Ante, go see the sights, and enjoy one of the best meals you'll ever eat.
