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.

We enjoyed a good up hill walk here and amazing views. The park needs a little clean up, but it was definitely one of the best things we did when in Split.

We hired a fast boat for the day and visited the Blue Cave and then the islands after. We all wished we had spent more time exploring the islands than spending hours going to the Cave. The little bays are beautiful and make sure you visit Marmito’s for lunch

Deff if you are in hvar you need to visit this place, it has great view of island hvar and city, its a place where you capture great photos. There is a coffe shop up there to refresh after a 15-20 Min walk up there, which is not bad at all

Visit to Biokovo Skywalk was fabulous and exhilarating experience. Breathtaking view of Makarska Riviera and nearby islands, locals have horses, I highly recommend restaurant Vrata Biokova (The Doors of Biokovo) with delicious food and good service.
8. Starigrad Fortress

I took the easier of the two routes because I would not consider myself super fit for this type of climb. The path starts next to the fire station. If you’re facing it, go left and follow the signs for the fortress. It’s a well marked path just keep your eye on the rocks for markers. I set out at 8 am knowing that it would be a scorcher later on in the day. I would not want to do this any later in the summer months. You must have proper footwear and closed shoes with some grip. You cannot do this in sandals or flip flops. The climb is treacherous but definitely doable. I stopped when I needed to and had 1.5 litres of water. It took me just over an hour each way and longer than expected but that’s ok. It was not a race. The way down was also challenging as it was a little slippery. The entrance to the fortress is 20 Kuna. Make sure you have cash. The views are beyond description and well worth the pain.

Looking up at this mountain range is simply breathtaking from all sides but once you are on top its a different world. The surrounding mountains have amazing peaks and are quite impressive to look down on. From here many of Croatia islands are visible. Parking is limited at the top so if its a busy day it may get tight. We were lucky. The road is very tight and full of switchbacks so caution and a slow drive is very necessary. Many people riding bikes and motorbikes to be careful of. There are wider sections as you get higher where you can get out and stroll. I highly recommend walking up the trail if within your abilities. The sunset is perfect from up there and sets just over the water between the islands. Half way down the mountain there is a great place to eat as well.

What a beautiful ride on great roads, loads of switchbacks, amazing viewpoints, stunning vistas and the absolute cherry on top is the view to Zlatni Rat beach, Bol and over to Hvar from the summit. An absolute must.
