Trogir packs an exceptional historic centre onto a small island joined by bridges to the mainland and Čiovo. The Cathedral of St Lawrence, Radovan's Portal, Kamerlengo Fortress, town loggia and monastery collections are all within a few minutes of the Riva. It is primarily a boutique-cruise and sailing port: small vessels berth on the municipal waterfront, others tender, and large ocean ships usually arrive in Split rather than Trogir itself.
⚠️ Old-town limestone is extremely polished and slippery when wet.
⚠️ Road traffic around Trogir, Split Airport and the bridges can cause major delays.
⚠️ Kamerlengo and cathedral access changes for services and summer events.
⚠️ Do not assume a call labelled Split/Trogir actually lands in Trogir.

Trogir has stories most visitors walk straight past.
Trogir was founded by Greek colonists and has been continuously inhabited for about 3,600 years.
A pharmacy was established on its main square in 1271.
Trogir joined UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1997.
Trogir itself comfortably fills two to four hours. Čiovo provides nearby beaches, the Blue Lagoon offers a boat day, and Split, Salona or Klis are longer road choices. Pick one extension because traffic can be unpredictable.
