Trogir - Split

Trogir is a beautiful, ancient town located at the northern shores of the Kastela Bay. The old town of Trogir is actually situated on a small island settled in a narrow space between the mainland and the Island of Ciovo. One bridge connects the Old Town with the mainland and the other bridge leads to Ciovo. The immense cultural and historical heritage of Trogir is enough to make it one of the most desirable tourist destinations on the Adriatic. However, apart from its amazing monuments Trogir is also famous for the breathtaking coastline with beautiful beaches, friendly locals, tasty cuisine and excellent service wherever you go.

The legends and history of Trogir go back 2300 years to the prehistoric times when the Greek colonists founded the settlement Tragurion. Since then Trogir changed many inhabitants and rulers, every culture and civilization leaving its indelible trail in stones of the Old Town. Since the ancient times, over the medieval period, the Venetian rule and Austrian dominion, all the way to the modern times, Trogir kept and nurtured its unique beauty and tradition until the present day.
