Trogir and island ČiovoWelcome

Located on a small island connected by bridges to both the mainland and the larger island of Čiovo, Trogir is one of the most beautiful small Mediterranean cities on the Adriatic coast. Founded by the Greeks in the 3rd century BC, it has been continuously inhabited since. Its historic centre is included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. Its monuments include the 13th century Romanesque-Gothic cathedral, with a well-known portal by the master sculptor Radovan and a campanile in the Venetian style, as well as the 15th century Camerlengo castle.

A drawbridge takes the visitor to the hilly island of Čiovo, which has been an area of holiday homes for the residents of Trogir and Split for several centuries. The coastline is dotted with small fishing harbors and pebble beaches. During its long history the island was home to the hermit monastery community in Prizidnica on the cliffs of the southern coast, offering a spectacular view of the nearby Adriatic islands, and still a place of pilgrimage. While the whole island is surrounded by beaches, one of the most picturesque is situated on the eastern tip, near the old kava (limestone quarry).

Nearby attractions include the beautiful Dalmatian cities of Split (25 km) and Šibenik (60 km), as well as the ruins of Roman Salone (20 km) and the medieval fortress of Klis (25 km).
