Trogir Guide         

Trogir's Historic Centre


Entrance to Trogir's Old Town
Only 27km west of Split, travel to Trogir is easy and stress-free (see Trogir on a Dalmatia map). The historic town centre is a World Heritage Site. As it's pedestrian only, the central Trogir is calm and relaxing.

Trogir is located on an island between the island of Ciovo and the mainland. Small bridges connect Trogir with the mainland and Ciovo. See a satellite map of Trogir.

Although the mainland facing Trogir is not particularly interesting, Ciovo island (really an extension of Trogir) is green and plush. The Mediterranean vegetation ends in small sand and pebble beaches on the western side. If you stay in Trogir you can combine sightseeing in the Old Town with beach days on Ciovo or you can take a boat to the unspoiled offshore islands of Drvenik Mali and Drvenik Veli.

Trogir is also advantageously located near the Split airport, making it a good alternative place to stay if Split seems too busy for you. It's also an easy day trip from Split.
