Trogir

Published on 2025-04-15
Congratulations, intrepid voyagers-you've just docked at Trogir, a pint-sized Croatian jewel that laughs merrily at the mere mention of "modern urban planning." This medieval mini-metropolis is basically Venice minus the pigeon infestation and the overpriced espresso, and it's best explored the way nature-and UNESCO-intended: on foot, preferably lost and slightly sunburned. As you stroll its winding cobblestone alleys, consider this: Trogir has survived centuries of pirates, conquerors, and tourists alike, crafting a resilient charm that refuses sanitization. Fun historic tidbit? Legend claims the city's cathedral portal was carved by Master Radovan, a sculptor who cheekily immortalized himself amidst saints and apostles-arguably the 13th-century equivalent of photobombing. Need a starting point? Slip off your ship shoes, dive straight into the old town labyrinth, and reward your curiosity with grilled seafood, cold local beer, and some friendly Balkan irreverence. Welcome to Trogir-your medieval playground awaits.
