The historic walled city of Trogir, Croatia is located on a small island between the Croatian mainland and the much larger island of Clovo. Trogir is also located about 20 miles west of Split, Croatia on the coast of the Adriatic Sea (a very easy day trip from Split). The center of this small town has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its Venetian architecture and many of its original 13th – 15th century buildings are still intact. I visited this impressive walled city with my wife on a Saturday in late October and really enjoyed it. While the number of my fellow tourist was annoyingly high, I still enjoyed walking around Trogir. The city is very compact, and it appears that a lot of people still live here. The medieval streets are tiny and wind all around the island (I got momentarily turned around a couple of times). Highlights of this town include the historic city center square, the Fortress Kamerlengo, the entry gates and the small Cathedral. The best part is just walking around the skinny roads that wind in every direction. The town seemed safe and there did not even appear to be any pick pockets around. Overall, I enjoyed touring this walled city and highly recommend it if you are visiting Croatia. The next time I would like to stay here so I could see it in the morning and evening when most of the day trippers are gone.

Day or night this is always a popular and festive area to visit. There are often traditional Klappa groups singing in the afternoon and evening. Many people wandering through and stopping at the various bars, cafes and gelato shops. Great place to sit back and relax, people watch and have a drink or snack. A must-visit when in Trogir and you'll probably walk through at least a dozen times while you are in the city. A wonderful jewelry shop is located here as well that carries traditional silver-work as well as certified red coral pieces.

The voyage on our small cruise ship around the islands of Croatia ended with us being tied up against the promenade and thus very able to watch the world pass by. With the historic Fort at one end and also several churches either on the promenade or in the near distance it presents a lovely skyline.

A bit of history and a cool respite while visiting town on a hot day. Spent an hour or so walking around. Docent at the entrance was very kind and engaging, answered several questions for us. Artwork and artifacts are in a short museum style hall prior to entering monastery. The chapel was undergoing construction but we were still able to walk thorough and there is a very nice courtyard area with various reliefs, sculptures as well as fruit trees, tortoises (yes) and a cool, very, very old well in the center. We browsed around. It was very cool and quiet. Entry price was very affordable.

The way they still look today was designed a 100 years after they were first erected - since then there is a statue of the patron saint at the top of the entrance - St. Ivan Trogirski. Trogir is a beautiful city so don't miss visiting this part of it.

Just opposite the Cathedral is the palace of Trogir noble family Cipiko. Its largest part originated in the 13th century, and it represents a beautiful example of Venetian gothic architecture

Historic renovated water mills
Reviewed By KenC8 - Victoria, Canada
This family owned restaurant is in an historic old watermill located just outside Trogir (past their new bridge). A river runs past/through the mill which backs onto wetlands and the bay beyond. It a very pretty spot with ducks and geese. Our tomato salad came from the owner's garden. We shared a traditional Croatian dish called "peka" which is made of slowed cooked meats and vegetables in a pan. Very tasty and tender. Desert was crepes and complimentary liqueurs. Service was friendly and prompt. Be aware you will need transportation by local car or bus to get there. After dark bugs do come out. It's also a little noisy at times from cars going by and planes from the nearby airport. Portions are overly generous so if sharing consider ordering for half your number. Our guide preordered the dish of peka for us and this allowed us to chose a variety of meats for the dish.
