Trogir, Croatia

We farewelled Split this morning and made our way to Trogir, a short distance from Split. We immediately loved this town as it has the small town vibe we love to experience. Split just seemed to be missing that for us and Trogir has it all.

According to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites profile on Trogir, the remarkable orthogonal street plan of The island of Trogir, the old town, dates back to the ancient times
when the Greeks found it in the
3rd century BC. Often cited as "Little Venice", it is gorgeous from all angles and it topped National Geographic's list of best Island Cities in 2015.

Trogir is known for having a historic centre which is considered the most preserved medieval town in Central Europe and is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Centre. Europe's first pharmacy is believed to have opened in Trogir in the year 1271.

This town is one picturesque laneway after another and we quickly dropped off our bags to explore more. Not only is the town centre lovely, the promenade is a wonderful wide inviting space lined with restaurants and cocktail bathes overlooking the clear blue waters. We decided to sit and enjoy some lunch at one of the restaurants and just as we were about to order we spotted Wendy and Ross walking past. They had decided to stop and explore the town on their way to their next stop. So our farewell dinner from the previous night ended up being a farewell lunch in another town. It was a lovely surprise to see them again and enjoy one more meal together.

Once lunch was over we parted ways (again) and continued exploring all that Trogir had to offer.Læs mere
