Detailed itinerary

Trogir’s Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is renowned for its well-preserved medieval architecture. Wander its narrow cobblestone streets to discover Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance treasures, then enjoy the stunning waterfront and charming squares that capture the essence of Dalmatian history and atmosphere.

Trogir’s main square is the heart of the Old Town, surrounded by centuries of history. Dominating the square is the Cathedral of St. Lawrence, a masterpiece of Romanesque-Gothic architecture. Elegant Renaissance and Baroque palaces frame the square, once home to Trogir’s noble families. The historic City Loggia, with its arcades and stone carvings, served as a meeting place and symbol of civic life.

Trogir’s waterfront promenade, or Riva, is a lively walkway lined with palm trees and cafés. It offers stunning views of the harbor, historic walls, and moored yachts. By day or night, the Riva is the perfect spot to soak up the charm and coastal atmosphere of this UNESCO town.

Pantana, just outside Trogir, is a historic wetland area once vital for local trade and agriculture. Its stone watermills, dating back to medieval times, harnessed the river’s flow to grind grain for the surrounding communities. Today, the restored mills offer a glimpse into centuries-old craftsmanship set amid a rich natural habitat. During your visit, enjoy a glass of both red and white local wine in this serene and historic setting (included in the price).
