The municipality of Klis encompasses several smaller settlements in addition to the main village. Due to its historical importance and scenic beauty, Klis has also gained recognition as a filming location for various television series and films, most notably as Meereen in the popular HBO series Game of Thrones. The local economy benefits from tourism, driven by visitors drawn to the fortress and the natural surroundings.
