This private shore excursion travels along the Dalmatian coast to Trogir, a medieval town built on a small islet between the Croatian mainland and the island of Ciovo, about 17 miles (27km) northwest of Split. Trogir was originally settled as a Greek colony, but the town seen today largely dates to the 13th through 15th centuries, when it was enclosed within stone walls under Venetian rule. Its historic center has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997, recognized as one of the best preserved Romanesque-Gothic towns in Central Europe.
After meeting your licensed guide at the port or your hotel in Split, you drive along the coast to Trogir. Once there, your guide walks you through the town's narrow stone streets, past centuries-old houses, palaces, monasteries and the town's fortified walls, explaining how Trogir's layout and architecture reflect its long history under Croatian, Venetian and Hungarian rule.
The main stop is St. Lawrence Cathedral, begun in the 13th century and considered Trogir's finest monument. Its west portal, carved by the local sculptor Radovan in 1240, is regarded as one of the masterpieces of Romanesque sculpture in this part of Europe, featuring figures of Adam and Eve standing on lions flanking the doorway, along with scenes from the life of Christ and the months of the year.
Following the walking tour, you have free time to explore Trogir's marble-paved streets on your own, browse local shops, photograph the waterfront, or relax at a cafe before your guide brings you back to Split.
