Beautiful museum, great combination of old and new, efficient and welcoming staff in a stunning setting. A must-see when you are in the area, a quick stop between Split and Trogir - well worth your time! It is quite astonishing how what is a relatively small museum in a small cultural community can achieve such high quality heritage and cultural programmes. Great for families! Visited many times - every time fantastic.

I am a certified Open Water diver and my husband is a snorkeler. The owner, Ivica, picked us up from Split Harbor and took us out on his little boat to the "tunnels" on the Island of Ciovo. We dove at the endof dive season in Croatia (end of October). There were some schools of fish and lots of sea urchin, but not much more. I was having some mask and buoyancy issues, so I couldn't enjoy the dive as well as I could of, but the mask was my fault because I chose the wrong one. My husband had a great time snorkeling along the reef.
Overall, i thought highly of the divemaster, but the dive itself was just ok. I originally booked 2 dives, but only decided to do 1 after the mask left me with a bit og a headache. Would probably have a better experience earlier in the season.

Equally lovely by day and at night when the restaurants set out tables and chairs in the squares and courtyards of the walled city. South facing Promenade where the cruise ships and super yachts pull up was best avoided for food as the quality of food and the character of the restaurants within the walled city were both a lot better.

Best way to travel from Split airport to the Old Town and surroundings (also long destinations: Zadar, Makarska, Dubrovnik, Mostar, etc.). Good value for money, clean cars (limousine and family car). We took them twice because Dina and Mario are very friendly local drivers, besides they recomend good Beaches, interesting sights and restaurants in Dalmatia.
6. Mastrinka - Old Olive Tree

Reviewed By ruthandvern - Wilton, California
The map we had wasn't the best so it tookus awhile to find it, but it's really impressive when you get there. The field is fenced and there's a gate in front. Off to the right side there's an information board telling you the Romans probably planted it around 500 AD. It certainly shows it's lifetime of turbulence. It's had fire, there are huge splits in it. The main one makes a great photo op. The tree still produces oil olives, New growth was evident. It was very inspirational.

Really pretty little church, made of stone, just across the Castle Rušinac. It reminds the visitor of a romantic event from 1681. The story is about the tragic love of Miljenko and Dobrila (google it). They were buried in this church.
10. The St. Lawrence Cathedral

The Cathedral, called St. John among local citizens, is the highest building in Trogir, dominating the area.
Reviewed By GeysirGal - Surrey, United Kingdom
This is of course the centrepiece of the main square, and indeed the town itself. An impressive structure completed in the late 13th century, the views from the top are good too, although the climb is not for the faint hearted. The Cathedral itself has the usual array of frescos and ornate ceilings, which I am sure for those who study these things contain much symbolism - I am not one of these. Still, you can admire the artwork.
