One of the most popular meals in Croatia’s Dalmatia region is peka, a
blend of vegetables and meat drizzled with olive oil, sprinkled with herbs,
and then baked to perfection under a bell-like dome. If you are lucky
enough to be invited into the home of a Dalmatian family, it’s likely that
you’ll feast upon it for dinner. It is traditional for Dalmatians to cook peka
in their fireplaces at home. Many Croatian families, especially those in the countryside, even have a special oven outdoors for cooking. This is what
we offer you, pure Dalmatian experience in an extraordinary location.
