Take three white-stone Christian quarters of Jerusalem, minify them twofold, then add a pinch of Bruges and little bit of Venice, flavor it with perfect meat and seafood dishes and serve together with delicious Croatian sorts of white wine – and you will receive a medieval seaside dollish town Trogir in Croatia, located near to Split.
Night Trogir, Croatia
One of the medieval streets of Trogir, Croatia
Trogir traces its history from the antique times. That time it was called Tragurion. It was founded by Greeks in 3rd century BC and in times grew in the big port.
Tiny streets, paved with stone, somewhere ancient, somewhere newer, but always white, bring you to the picturesque shacks almost on every street corner. You take your camera and shoot charming views practically in every single moment.

Getting tires you enter one of the numerous cafes and order a glass of cold white wine from the Croatian vineyards. And that’s it – the cheering drink picks you up in a moment and you are ready to hunt the views again.
Local white wine in Trogir, Croatia
You may visit any café for a late diner or an early supper, you are okay with fairly good pasta or pizza, but if you are a foodie, we searched some for you and by means of comparison of the culinary art of different chiefs we prepared a special tip. The best steaks and rumsteaks, as well as seafood dishes in Trogir, are cooked in a restaurant named Capo.

Afterwards you may seat for hours in any café on the embankment under the palms (but don’t order anything, except water or white wine there) and observe mooring yachts and the associated cheeriness of the promenading people. Peaceful and calm. Warm and dry, but not so hot anymore. Have a rest.

May be you like night promenades? Very wisely. Try to walk at night and you will get into a fairy tale. Trogir at night is very enigmatic, as well as any small European medieval town.

Are you irritated with the crowds of tourists dressed in trunks and T-shirts? No problem. Come to Trogir in October. There are no trunks and T-shirts anymore, it’s not yet cold, the restaurants are open, prices in a hotels are lower for 30% and excellent Croatian cuisine is at your disposal, and all the medieval atmosphere of ancient Torgir with its white walls and pavements is fully yours. Enjoy piece and silence.

I see what you mean about this gorgeous looking city being reminiscent of Venice, Brugge and even Jerusalem – what a treasure! Great post, and photos – but my favourite is the courtyard with washing line – just gorgeous
September 17, 2012 at 11:35 am
You are right. This was a wonderful place, and Trogir has a lot of the same courtyards. But the best time to see them is night. I like night photo sessions.

If you don’t mind me asking, what kind of camera do you use? My night pictures do not come out even close to the quality that yours do.
September 17, 2012 at 10:29 pm
It is Sony WX50 and tripod. I don’t use professional cameras, deliberately.
September 17, 2012 at 2:10 pm
Fabulous photos, as always. I love the dark side of the moon trick, very clever.
September 17, 2012 at 10:34 pm
Thank you very much.
September 17, 2012 at 2:28 pm
The name itself is so quaint. Felt like I was taken back to a different period. Fabulous pics Victor:)
September 17, 2012 at 10:35 pm
It is medieval.
September 17, 2012 at 4:47 pm
Stunning photos! Makes me want to plan a trip there next October!
September 17, 2012 at 10:53 pm
You shall not regret, Kourtney.

Wish you a good journey.
September 17, 2012 at 7:48 pm
Beautiful photos Victor. This place really looks and is from another place in time. I can see the woman dressed in medieval attire roaming those narrow streets.
September 17, 2012 at 10:57 pm
Unfortunately they don’t do it in contrast to Venice or Tallinn.
September 18, 2012 at 3:10 am
I see what you mean about the steak, it made me hungry and I have only just eaten breakfast! great photos too
September 18, 2012 at 5:15 am

September 30, 2012 at 10:48 pm
Yes, I like Trogir and Croatia, and I read you blog. Very nice villa you have bought.
January 30, 2013 at 7:18 am
An excellent post of Trogir, Victor! My husband and I are headed to Trogir next week, and we’re really excited. We’ll be on the lookout for a small apartment, and were wondering if you stayed anywhere that you’d recommend? How long were you there in all? It seems to be a great spot to explore from!
January 30, 2013 at 10:15 am
Tricia, I have one friend-blogger who have the villa in Trogir. Of course I have redirected your question to her. She sent me on the mail a ton of recommendations. So I think it will be better if you visit her blog and ask her all questions yourself. I assure you, you will receive exhaustive answers and recommendations.
January 30, 2013 at 3:42 pm
Victor, how kind of you to to put me in touch with Elisa! Thank you for that gesture, as well as this lovely photo essay of Trogir. Until next time, I wish you splendid travels!
January 30, 2013 at 9:59 pm
You are welcome, Tricia. Enjoy Trogir!
February 23, 2013 at 1:46 pm
