Yes, this specialty is famous on an international level, but we believe that the best roast lamb is the one prepared by the islanders of Croatian Adriatic. In fact, almost every region of Croatia takes pride in preparing the most delicious lamb on the spit. From Istria to Lika, and all the way through Dalmatia, lamb on the spit is not only a meal – it is a tradition. If you have ever visited Croatia, it is highly unlikely that you haven’t heard about it. It is prepared in various ways depending on the region and customs. It is a mouthwatering delicacy that can be complemented with a sumptuous array of spices and side dishes, yet the unsurpassed peak of lamb enjoyment is the simplest of all and for which you only need one spice – salt. The true beauty lies in simplicity, right? Salt is the key to getting that perfect, delectable taste. Lamb on the spit is a go-to meal for family feasts, birthday celebrations, or friendly gatherings. Let’s just put it this way: if there is a party coming up and the rumor has it there will be roast lamb, everybody will RSVP. It is a luxury we cannot say no to.

In 2005, Secret Dalmatia was started from pure love for Croatia’s heritage, its incredible diversity, and beauty. We have since remained faithful to our initial mission – and are still today a boutique travel agency dedicated to showing the true, wholesome Croatia to the discerning travelers who want to experience our country and all our riches, not just see it.
A bottle of Croatian wine or rose liquor will go far in telling stories, and so will some of the praised olive oils. Keep the memory of the Adriatic alive with salt from centuries’ old pans at Ston or Pag Island or with a sample of Istria’s famed truffles. Lightweight travelers should consider typical spices like lavender or rosemary, herbal teas or candied orange peels and almonds.
