Croatia – Lost in the magic of Trogir

Trogir is one of those places in Croatia where you immediately feel like time has stood still. As soon as you cross the old stone bridge into the town, surrounded by crystal-clear water and centuries-old walls, you’ll understand why this town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nestled between the mainland and the island of Čiovo, Trogir exudes a unique atmosphere: a blend of Dalmatian tranquility, Venetian elegance, and Mediterranean charm.

Medieval allure

Trogir’s old town is a maze of narrow alleys where the aroma of freshly baked bread blends with that of lavender and sea salt. As you stroll through the cobblestone streets, you’ll pass centuries-old palaces, churches, and hidden courtyards. The Cathedral of St. Lawrence, with its impressive Romanesque portal, is an absolute must-see.

A taste of Dalmatia

After a morning of exploring, there’s nothing better than relaxing on Trogir’s promenade, watching the yachts gently bob against the dock. A plate of fresh grilled fish with olive oil and a glass of chilled Pošip wine is highly recommended. Perfect for soaking up the relaxed atmosphere. The local cuisine is simple yet refined, using ingredients sourced directly from the sea and the land.

Sun, sea, and island feel

While Trogir is best known for its rich history, it’s also a fantastic destination for sun worshippers. A bridge provides easy access to the island of Čiovo, where small coves and pebble beaches await. Rent a boat to explore the surrounding islets, or dive into the crystal-clear waters for a snorkeling adventure. The sunsets here are simply spectacular.
