Trogir is located on an island between the island of Ciovo and the mainland. Small bridges connect Trogir with the mainland and Ciovo. See a satellite map of Trogir. Although the mainland facing Trogir is not particularly interesting, Ciovo island (really an extension of Trogir) is green and plush. The Mediterranean vegetation ends in small sand and pebble beaches on the western side. If you stay in Trogir you can combine sightseeing in the Old Town with beach days on Ciovo or you can take a boat to the unspoiled offshore islands of Drvenik Mali and Drvenik Veli. Trogir is also advantageously located near the Split airport, making it a good alternative place to stay if Split seems too busy for you. It's also an easy day trip from Split. Prices are cheaper and the value for money generally better in Trogir than in Split. Find out more about Trogir accommodation.
