Trogir

Trogir Croatia is a masterpiece of Mediterranean urban planning — a compact UNESCO World Heritage island town where Romanesque churches, Renaissance palaces, and baroque façades line narrow marble streets, all encircled by medieval walls and connected to the mainland by a single stone bridge. Often described as an open-air museum, Trogir old town occupies a tiny island wedged between the Croatian mainland and the larger island of Čiovo, creating a sheltered harbour that has welcomed seafarers since the Greek colonists of Tragurion arrived in the 3rd century BC. The town’s crown jewel is the Cathedral of St. Lawrence, whose extraordinary Romanesque portal by the master craftsman Radovan is considered one of the finest examples of medieval sculpture in all of Europe. For yacht travellers exploring the Dalmatian coast with Splendid Yachting’s crewed motor yacht charters, sailing Trogir offers the rare pleasure of mooring within arm’s reach of a UNESCO site while remaining just 12 nautical miles from Split and minutes from Split Airport — making it an ideal first or last night of a Croatian charter.
