About this experience
If you are tired of typical walking tours – this is a perfect thing for you. With our guides, you will experience Trogir by night, its narrow streets and paths founded by Greek colonists in the 3rd century BC. At first glance, it may seem like any other Mediterranean ancient town, but it’s actually much more. This UNESCO’s World Heritage Site or Little Venice, as some call it, will charm you with a wide range of cultural sites, but even more with hidden ones. Our guides, dressed in black, carrying the light when daylight goes off, will help you travel back in time and see Trogir with different eyes.
