Trogir

Only 27km west of Split, travel to Trogir is easy and stress-free (see Trogir on a map). The historic town centre is pedestrian only, making the town calm and relaxing. Trogir is located on an island between the island of Ciovo and the mainland with small bridges connecting it all. 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.

What to See

Trogir is a living monument to medieval art and architecture . Named as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, Trogir developed from the 13th to the 15th centuries and was once the cultural centre of Dalmatia. Its golden age is visible everywhere. Read more about sights to see in Trogir.

     Getting to Trogir

 There's a frequent city bus from Split that runs to Trogir but the coastal buses between Split and Zadar are much more comfortable, if slightly more expensive.You can also get to Trogir directly from Dubrovnik (see the schedule at buses from Dubrovnik). There's even a once-a-week ferry from Split which is the most scenic way to go to Trogir.
