Trogir is a beautiful little city located by road about 30 kilometers from Split. It actually lies very close to Split airport Resnik and is very easy to get to. Although easy to get to, one must be prepared to lose a lot of time because the little town and the surrounding roads are a one huge traffic jam all the time. The reason for this is this is that the only connection to Ciovo island is a tiny bridge in the middle of Trogir which is barely wide enough for two cars to pass each other. It is a very popular tourist destination and there is a lot of accomodation in and around town including some of the major resorts. The best idea for this may be private accomodation on Ciovo which is a large island with beautiful nature and a lot of beaches while getting back to Trogir is a matter of minutes. The old town of Trogir is located on a tiny island between mainland and Ciovo. It is a beautiful medieval place which is no wonder as for the most of its history it was under the influence of Venice. It is very easy to get lost in its winding narrow streets but fear not as it is all very small and sooner rather than later you will end up on the promenade. The promenade itself has loads of restaurants and bars and the nightlife is very lively here. During the season the town gets overflown with tourists from all over the world and this gives it even more character athough those looking for peace and quiet may find it troubling. There are also a few tiny islands in the area between Ciovo and the mainland and there are really beautifull beaches there. For anyone who deceides to visit this amazing coastal jewell there is a plethera of wonders to discover and the memories you take home will be uforgettable. Don't forget that Trogir is one of many starting destinations for Three Caves Tour, our highly rated day trip to outer islands of Bisevo, Vis and Hvar
