About this experience
Did you know that Trogir was named the most beautiful town-island in the world by National Geographic? It has been on the UNESCO’s List of World Heritage Sites since 1997. Trogir was founded by the Greek colonists so it’s one of the oldest towns on the Croatian coast. Did you know that it has many nicknames? Some of them are Town museum, Little Venice, and personally my favourite - Town of the happy moment. You will hear all of this and so much more if you decide to come on a walking tour with me.
