Travel guide Trogir
Climate in Trogir
The Mediterranean climate in Trogir ensures a warm summer and moist winters. From June to August, you can expect up to eleven hours of sunshine per day. The average daytime temperatures during this time are a maximum of 30 degrees, and at night it never gets colder than 19 degrees. Typical for the entire region of Dalmatia is the so-called Scirocco. This hot wind blows in the summer from the south and southeast over Trogir. If you want to rent a holiday apartment by the sea or a house to relax in cooler temperatures, we recommend you visit during the off-season.
Croatia's cozy side
The picturesque Trogir with its enchanting old town is an excellent choice for a trip to Croatia. The offered holiday apartments and holiday homes are located both on the beach and in the city.
The most popular beach is Okrug Beach on the island of Ciovo. You can reach it either by shuttle boat or by car via the bridge. Along the Seget district, there is the same-named pebble beach, which slopes gently into the sea and is therefore also very suitable for children. A sports center, a water slide, jet-skis, and a trampoline ensure variety here. On the island, there are many olive groves and pine forests, which provide soothing shade. One of the most fascinating sights on the island of
Ciovo is the pilgrimage church of Prizidnica. Many visitors rent accommodations here to enjoy the proximity to the city and the tranquility at the same time.
Also very popular is Pantana Beach, which is located on the edge of the Pantana nature reserve. Natural shade, white, fine pebbles, and crystal-clear water are among the advantages of this beach. The crystal-clear water is an oasis for divers and snorkelers. You can marvel at the underwater world at over 30 beautiful diving spots. If you prefer to stay above water, take a tour on the Cetina River.
Among the attractions of Trogir are the recently renovated St. Lawrence Cathedral from the 13th century and the Kamerlengo Fortress from the 15th century. The fortress is located at the southern end of the beautiful promenade.
The beautiful
Dalmatia features one of the most enchanting landscapes in Croatia. Of the 900 islands, only a few are inhabited. The big-city metropolis of Split marks the political and economic center of Dalmatia. If you want to explore the Roman city of Split from your accommodation, it is best to take the boat. The crossing takes about an hour.
What is there to see in Trogir?
The old town of Trogir offers a historical and cultural fireworks display of sights. During your stay in a holiday apartment or holiday home, you can immerse yourself in the rich history of the city, which began with the founding in 300 BC by the Greeks. Significant buildings line up around the square of John Paul II, making it the cultural center of the city. On the right side of the square is the Cipiko Palace, a testament to the glorious days of the Venetians from the 15th century. The city loggia and the bell tower of the Church of Sv. Sebastijana face the Cathedral of Sv. Lovre and were built between the 14th and 15th centuries. Also worth seeing is the Church of St. Petru, located in the heart of the old town. A part of the Benedictine monastery used to be housed here.
Among the most significant buildings are the Cathedral, St. Sveti's Church, and the Monastery of St. Dominic. The Mediterranean monastery garden and the richly ornamented winged altar are just some of the sights of the monastery. After severe damage during World War II, it was rebuilt in its original form. In the rooms of the Benedictine Monastery of St. Nicholas, the Kairos Collection is presented. One of the showpieces is the Kairo-relief, which archaeologists discovered with other ancient pieces in 1928 in Trogir.
In addition to the many other museums, galleries, and attractions of the city, we recommend an excursion along the Kastela. Of the formerly 13 forts, you can still explore seven defensive facilities.
Family vacation to Croatia
Of course, an affordable holiday apartment or holiday home with a private sea view and pool in Trogir is also very well suited for a
family-friendly vacation. On the gently sloping beaches, your children can splash around and swim in the sea to their heart's content.
If you have a lot of time, take a trip to Split. The enchanting city offers virtually unlimited leisure activities for the whole family. In Krka National Park, you will find canyon-like gorges, numerous fort ruins, and extensive lakes. The most impressive is the river itself, home to seven large waterfalls.
In the historic old town, your kids can roam the romantic streets without getting lost. In the district of Kastel Stafilic, many accommodations welcome not only children but also dogs. Croatia is known for its hospitality, where children are always welcome guests.
Light and delicious cuisine in Dalmatia
Homemade wine, salad made from sun-ripened tomatoes, a few black olives, thinly sliced Dalmatian prosciutto, salted anchovies, and yellow sheep cheese: You should definitely try these typical delicacies during your holiday in a holiday apartment or holiday home in Trogir. The tasty, simple dishes without heavy fat are a healthy and digestible diet and are therefore perfect for the hot summer months. Like most southern countries, the Dalmatians are not keen on breakfast. In the morning, a coffee is enough, which is often taken in a bar (kavana). For a late morning second breakfast, there is a hearty snack: marinated anchovies, cold roast cuts, cheese, anchovies, olives, and wine diluted with water. Seafood and fish are among the regional specialties. They are prepared in a black squid ink risotto, with homemade green ribbon noodles, or as a salad. Scampis are usually served still in their shells. Steaks from lamb, beef, and pork are traditionally grilled on an open charcoal fire. The choice of side dishes is manageable, usually, Djuveč rice, boiled potatoes, or chard seasoned with lots of garlic are served with the meat. Wine, whether white or red, is part of every meal.
If you want to try a regional specialty, the fish stew Brodet od riba is just the thing for you. It consists of different types of fish in a brew of olive oil, onions, wine, garlic, and parsley.
For breakfast in your holiday apartment or your holiday home in a good location, the lightly smoked Dalmatian prosciutto Dalmatinski pršut and the pancakes Palačinke (with a sauce made from jam or chocolate) are a must. After an eventful day, when you return to your private accommodation, the Dalmatian herbal schnapps Lozovaca and Travarica will give you new energy.
