Trogir














[The south side of Trogir's Old Town]

18 March, 2010

(Day 5)

This morning we left Zadar for a long bus ride which will eventually take us to Mostar, Bosnia & Herzegovina. On our way, we stopped in Trogir for about an hour. Trogir was founded by the Greeks in the third century B.C.
Its historic city center has been continuously inhabited since then. It comprises all of a small island immediately off of the coast (connected by short bridges). The entire Old Town is on UNESCO's World Heritage List.
It was a nice day and a good way to take a break. I enjoyed our visit, but without a map or more information, I didn't always know what I was looking at (or missing). A beautiful town.
