APODOS-Promoting the Local heritage since 2013

In business since 2013, we have gone a long way in promoting the versatility of the local culture and heritage, and still are the exclusive provider of Open-Top Sightseeing Bus Tours in Dalmatia.

 We believe that taking our business to the next level is our responsibility.

We implement that vision by developing new, environmentally geared, and sustainable sightseeing offers for our guests, by increasing the green-friendly awareness and by promoting year-round operations. This creates the foundations for sustainable development of our beautiful area- Dalmatia.

Our Core Values

FOSTERING SUSTAINIBILITY AND PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

Dalmatia is our home. And the development of our company is focused on protecting our home for everyone: for us, for our children and for our guests. To demonstrate this in practice, Apodos launched a pioneer, eco-focused sightseeing product operating since the 2023 season:

Dalmatia for Nature Lovers- Countryside Half-Day Tour 

The tour enables guests based in Split escape the city and immerse themselves in the beauty and richness of the natural treasures of Dalmatia. Guests can experience the Dalmatian countryside, learn about the local nature and the regional dalmatian products in a fun, educative and interactive way.

OUR VOLUNTEER DAYS

We organize a day every year, when our staff can volunteer for the well-being of our countryside. The activities involved include beach cleaning days, tree planting days. We welcome any volunteers who would like to join us. Our volunteer days are also a tremendous opportunity to raise the awareness of the locals regarding the necessity of sustainable development of our destination. If there is any particular place we can help out and do something good for the environment, don’t hesitate to send us your suggestions at the following email address: Info@apodos.com.hr

√Next Volunteer Day at APODOS is scheduled for: 31/1/2023, 28/2/2023 & 31/3/2023

Sign up and bring your friends too! Together we can help preserve the beauty of Dalmatia for generations to come!

SUPPORTING THE LOCAL COMMUNITY

We operate alongside local communities, residents, and small businesses to ensure the protection of the natural cultural, and environmental heritage. Cooperating with like-minded local partners, who also promote sustainability, is at the very core of our work. At the same time, we strive to increase the local sustainability awareness, and make sure the local voices are taken into account, when it comes to their destinations future development. We’re hiring locally and using local service providers.

PROMOTING WOMEN’S EMPOWERNMENT IN EMPLOYMENT

Our staff is a team of amazing individuals passionate to make a positive impact in the local tourism scene. In particular, the contribution of our female colleagues throughout the past 15+ years of Apodos operating on the local market, cannot be expressed with words.

Therefore, it’s been always our main focus to adjust company policies to accommodate women’s needs. This way they never have to choose between the roles they play at work or in the family. At Apodos, we constantly provide ways to train, upskill, or cross-skill our female employees, while encouraging them to discover new skills that can be converted into a new job function.

OFFERING AUTHENTIC CULTURAL EXPERIENCES WITH SAFETY AND RESPONSIBILITY

Looking after our customer’s safety and well-being is the cornerstone of our operations. All our guides are locally certified and qualified. All our drivers are professionals with decades of experience. Safety is an absolute priority in all our daily operations. In that framework, it is our goal to deliver truly authentic sightseeing experiences, enabling our guests to experience the real Dalmatia, its nature, its people, culture, food, and historical richness.

GIVING NATURE A CHANCE TO REST

In recent years Split has witnessed a rapid touristic growth. This centralization of tourism is not beneficial nor sustainable and creates multiple social problems.

We strive to foster a balanced relationship with nature and contribute to the protection of Dalmatia’s natural wealth. For example, our core products:

Dalmatia for Nature Lovers- Countryside Half-Day Tour 

Hidden Gems of Dalmatia- 48 Hours Sightseeing Tour

Both contribute to the dispersion of tourist resources during peak season, thus giving the area of Split a chance to ”breath”.

In addition, our Walking Tours of Split are tailored to be 100% No footprint!
