9/28/19-9/29/19 Trogir and Split, Croatia

Leaving Dubrovnik under beautiful, sunny skies and temperatures in the high 70’s, we headed north to Split, Croatia. We retrace our route traveled to Dubrovnik in reverse for 2 hours, crossing into Bosnia and returning to Croatia with no problems! We turn off for Split and Trogir after an easy four hour drive.

We are staying at Airbnb’s for most of this trip and when we booked this segment, we didn’t notice that we were actually booking in Trogir, not Split. Trogir is 45 minutes from Old Town Split, sometimes mistakes are good. This one definitely was👍

Our GPS guided us close to our Airbnb and our hosts instructions delivered us to our new home. Lovely place, small, one bedroom, but safe parking and check out that view at night✔️

Ok, after check in we decide to walk down the hill into Trogir. It’s a lovely, small town with a huge business of transporting people to and from the islands in the area. Literally hundreds and hundreds of boats taking people to and from the surrounding islands. Quite the happening place on the water.

Fun, fun place 😎👍

Ok, up bright and early to go to Split. We drive to Split as it a distance away and the bus would take hours. Split is a big city, over 400k in population with lots of high rise apartments, glad we didn’t stay here✔️ We find the worlds second most expensive parking lot and start our tour of Split. It’s 8:00 AM and quite peaceful, walking tour here we come!

Split has a huge harbor and is a main point of departure and arrival for the Croatian ferry service to the nearby islands.😎

The main attraction here is Diocletian’s Palace, started by the Greeks in 300BC and rebuilt by the Romans in 300AD. It’s been rebuilt and destroyed many, many times.

The Roman vision.

Today, parts have been restored, but mainly it’s a tourist area, shops and restaurants aplenty. Still some great sights and fun walking.

Ok, it’s 12:00 and the tour bus crowds are in full swing. Back to lovely Trogir for a light lunch, walking tour and some serious people watching 🧐

Trogir has a great vibe, great restaurants and bars and was very, very enjoyable, highly recommended 🍷😎😜

Excellent visit, great place to chill and enjoy the sun. Have to put this one on the list for another visit and check out the islands 😎🍷✔️

Off to Pula, Croatia today, with a five hour drive, all toll roads 😳

P.S. We are getting closer to Italy. I can smell the pizza😜

Ciao! Ciao!
