Trogir - City of Masters
Trogir is a highly desirable place to live, and has remained so for the past 3,600 years. It has been blessed with a naturally protected harbour, numerous sources of drinking water, fertile soil and stone quarries. This inspiring Mediterranean city has been around since time immemorial, but it was the ancient Greeks that laid the foundations as an advanced city of culture. Various artists, writers, craftsmen and travelers have found their inspiration here and left numerous traces of their work over the centuries. The rich treasure trove of historical and cultural monuments has lead to the old town being included on the UNESCO list of protected cultural monuments in 1997.
This is a city that draws us into an enchanted labyrinth of beauty, into narrow cobbled streets of smooth stone and warm colors of the afternoon sun. It keeps many traces of the great masters that contributed to the beauty of its cobbled streets, beckoning for the excitement of discovery. Seemingly insignificant notches, dashes, crescents, flowers, leaves, twigs and personalities are skillfully carved into the stone facades of the city. To the watchful eye of the curious observer they reveal the story of Trogir, a wealth of art and the inspiration for its everyday life. The city boasts the highest concentration of these stone signatures in Europe. Some mark the completion of buildings, some represent prayers and others are the marks of their masters stonemasons. In the modern era, new generations of masters leave their marks on visitors worldwide, through their artisanal wares and gastronomic endeavors.
One of the special features that make this Mediterranean city unique is its island location and the charming island archipelago that belongs to it. The town promenade regularly hosts the world’s top super yachts and because of its three luxury equipped marinas Trogir became one of the world’s top yacht charter destinations. The island of Čiovo is connected to Trogir by bridge and it offers plenty of holiday opportunities with modern recreation and entertainment facilities, dotted with many hidden historical gems. The islands of Drvenik Veliki and Drvenik Mali stand out in particular, they are attractive to tourists for their untouched nature and beautiful bays and beaches. If you crave seclusion, a trip to these islands is the best option to find that personal connection to the sun and the sea.
Trogir is blessed with top geographical position, located closer to the Split airport that the city of Split itself, which allows for easy access to an intimate holiday experience and the flexibility of visiting the bustling ferry port of Split, which is just 30 minute drive.
