Trogir’s old town sits on its own small island between the mainland and Čiovo, joined to both by short bridges. The street plan is Greek, the walls are Venetian, and the whole thing is on the UNESCO World Heritage list. It is small, you can cross it in fifteen minutes, which is exactly why it works so well either side of a boat tour.
What to see
The Cathedral of St Lawrence and its Radovan portal are the reason the town is on the UNESCO list; the bell tower is worth the climb for the view over the rooftops. The Kamerlengo fortress guards the western tip and looks out over the channel our boats leave through. Between them: the town loggia, the Cipiko palace and a grid of stone lanes that is genuinely medieval rather than restored to look that way.
The Riva
The waterfront promenade along the south side is where the town spends its evening, and where every one of our boat tours from Trogir departs. Cafés on one side, moored boats on the other, and the Čiovo bridge at the end.
Fitting the old town around a boat tour
Most guests do the town in the evening and the water during the day. The Blue Lagoon half-day leaves the whole afternoon or morning free, and the full-day Three Island Tour is back by 16:30, which still leaves the golden hour for the Riva. For a longer list of what to do on land, see our things to do in Trogir guide.
Practicalities
There is no traffic inside the old town, so park on the mainland side or on Čiovo and walk in. Split Airport is 5 km away and Split itself about 30 minutes, see the airport guide. Summer evenings are busy; mornings before ten are close to empty.
