Encompassing a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, Trogir vacations delight at every turn with historic sites, beautiful preserved medieval architecture, and magnificent scenery.
Located 36 miles from Šibernik and 17 miles from Split, the historic town of Trogir is nestled on a small island connected to the mainland and Čiovo Island by two bridges.
Walking through the old town on a Trogir vacation feels like you are stepping back in time, with parts looking like a medieval fantasy. The nearby Čiovo Island is filled with mesmerizing nature, stunning beaches, and activities.

Things to do in Trogir
Although Trogir itself is small and can be explored in just a day, the surrounding area offers a wealth of exciting activities and beautiful scenery in which to fill your vacation.
Historical and Cultural Attractions
Straddled between the mainland and Čiovo Island, Trogir’s Old Town is a charming labyrinth of winding, cobblestoned streets. It is mainly pedestrianized and is best explored on foot to fully immerse yourself into the local and historic charm.
Embark on a private guided tour, where you’ll visit highlights such as the Cathedral of St. Lawrence. Admire Radovan’s Portal, the ornately sculpted entrance, before entering the Chapel of Blessed St John. Climb the cathedral’s bell tower for panoramic views stretching over the Old Town and across to Čiovo Island. Kamerlengo Castle is another must-visit site, which was built by the Venetians in 1420. During the summer months, concerts and events are held within the castle.
The Trogir Cultural Summer festival is a highlight, featuring a diverse array of concerts, theater performances, folklore shows, and art exhibitions.
Beaches and Natural Beauty
Just across the bridge, you’ll find Čiovo Island with a varied landscape of rocky coastlines, pebble beaches, and dense forests. The scenic and tranquil environment here invites you to unwind and relax.
Head to Okrug Gornji Beach (Copacabana Beach) for stretches of sandy beach, where you’ll find beach bars, watersports, and various amenities available. Located on the northeastern tip of the island, Slatine also has numerous picturesque bays. If you are looking for something further off the beaten track, Uvala Mavarstica is a cove surrounded by pine trees in a serene setting.
The island has many seaside paths that wind through and around the island, which are perfect for leisurely walks and bike rides. They offer panoramic views out over the glittering Adriatic Sea.
