Itinerary
Explore the palace of Diocletian, an ancient palace built by the Roman emperor Diocletian at the turn of the fourth century AD, that today forms about half the old town and city center.
The day will start with with a short ride along the coast to Trogir, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Founded by Greek colonists in the 3rd century BC, Trogir has 2300 years of continuous urban tradition. Its beautiful Romanesque churches are complemented by the outstanding Renaissance and Baroque buildings from the Venetian period.
The Cathedral of St. Domnius is a complex of a church, formed from an Imperial Roman mausoleum, with a bell tower; strictly the church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and the bell tower to Saint Domnius. Together they form the Cathedral of St. Domnius.
The castle was built in the mid-15th century by Marin Radoj as part of an expansion of the Veriga Tower, built on the site in the late 14th century.[1] It is used as a location for performances during the summer months. The word kamerlengo (Italian: camerlengo) refers to the title of an administrative official (a chamberlain).
Prokurative was built in the 19th century under the supervision of General Marmont and initiated by Split’s famed mayor Antonio Bajamonti. The design of Prokurative is largely inspired by architecture in Italy during the time of construction and closely resembles St. Mark’s Square in Venice. As a matter of fact, the architect of Prokurative was from Venice himself and wanted to build a structure that reminded him of home as he missed his city.
The Cathedral of St. Lawrence is a Roman Catholic triple-naved basilica constructed in Romanesque-Gothic in Trogir, Croatia. Since its construction lasted several centuries, it illustrates all the styles that succeeded one another in Dalmatia. It serves now as the most imposing monument in the city of Trogir.

We were met on time at the cruise port. Our guide was Tina and very enjoyable to listen to. We learned so much about the area. We had time to explore on our own and she pointed out some of the best places to eat and shop. Our driver Alan was great too. I highly recommend.

We had a wonderful small group tour with Tina! She was an excellent guide and made our exploration of Trogir and Split so amazing.
It was a nice look at the city and countryside while learning about Croatia. Tina wa an excellent guide. Enjoyed time to explore between structured portions of tour. We finished at old city, an easy 15 minute walk back to the ship.
Tina is very knowledgeable and sensitive to global issues. She also accommodates the needs of all the group members. We left wanting to return to Split and Trogir.
