Why Klis Fortress Is Worth Visiting

Explore Klis

Klis Fortress is one of the most interesting places near Split. It stands above the city and offers wide views over Split, the sea, nearby islands and the mountains around Dalmatia.

The fortress has a long history, but many visitors also know it because of Game of Thrones. Klis was used as one of the filming locations for Meereen, which makes it even more interesting for fans of the series.

Even if you are not a Game of Thrones fan, Klis is worth visiting for the views alone. It is a strong photo stop, a good short escape from the city and a simple way to add something different to your Split trip.

Why Go by Scooter

A scooter also makes it easier to combine Klis with other stops during the same day. You can visit the fortress in the morning, return to Split for lunch, or continue your ride toward nearby coastal places.

Because the route includes an uphill section, take your time and enjoy the ride. Vespa GTS 125 is a good choice for this kind of short scenic trip from Split.
