Excursion Picturesque town of trogir tour at Split

Experience the Old World splendour of one of the most beautiful Croatian towns during this memorable visit to historic Trogir.

Depart the pier for the scenic, approximate 45-minute drive northwest along the Split Riviera en route to Trogir. En route, proceed through the Kastela area, a fertile region of vineyards, orchards and vegetable gardens. People have lived here in early settlements near the coast and around castles built during the 15th and 16th centuries.

Trogir

Situated on a small island, Trogir is squeezed between the mainland and the larger island of Ciovo, and is accessible via a bridge. Upon arrival, leave your coach and walk across the bridge. Trogir, a veritable open-air museum, was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. It features narrow, cobblestone passageways winding between Medieval buildings and Renaissance-era palaces, along with spectacular stone houses, churches, monasteries, towers, city walls, and green parks. Sites to be seen during your guided walking tour of the city include the Town Loggia, Town Hall and Cipiko Palace.

Cathedral of St. Lawrence

Next, view the Cathedral of St. Lawrence. This 13th-century building is considered to be one of the finest examples of sacral architecture in Croatia. Its unusual construction with three naves and semicircular apses dominates the town. A local artist, Radovan, carved the famous main portal in the 13th century.

Refreshment and Free Time 

Your walking tour will conclude with refreshing drink, coffee and delicious Trogir style cookies, called Trogirski rafioli, served at the charming terrace situated in the center of the Trogir Old Town. After the refreshment stop, enjoy approximately one hour of free time to explore the town at your own leisure.

Following your visit, re-board the coach for the approximate 45-minute return drive to the pier.
