There are some 75 steps at the entrance and in certain locations the marble is uneven and slippery.

Ancient Salona & Trogir Medieval City

Port: Split, Croatia

Tour Code: SPU_07

In Solin, the site of the ancient Salona, it will seem as if time has stood still. At the time of its greatest prosperity (3rd and 4th centuries), Salona had approximately 40,000 inhabitants while Split did not even exist. Archaeologists have excavated remains of temples, amphitheaters, early Christian churches, burial grounds and baths. We can certainly say that in Croatia, this is the most important excavation site from Roman times. After your tour in Salona, you’ll drive along the beautiful Riviera of the Seven Castles to the charming town of Trogir. This tiny island is connected to the mainland with a bridge and is situated in between the mainland and the larger island of Ciovo. Trogir is completely occupied by spectacular constructions in stone-houses, palaces, churches, monasteries, towers and walls, except for the green parks on the island. The streets are narrow and they truly give a feel of how life might have been in the old days. You’ll visit the main attraction in Trogir - the Cathedral of St. Lawrence which is probably the finest example of Sacral architecture in Croatia. The unusual construction with three naves and three semi circular apses dominates the entire town. The main portal carved by the local artist, Radovan, in the 13th century is world famous. Other fine buildings that you’ll see are the Town Loggia, the Town Hall and Cipiko Palace.   Note: During summer months expect extreme heat, crowded venues and long lines. We recommend that you dress in layers, wear comfortable shoes, a hat, sunglasses and bring bottled water. Guests must be able to walk approximately 1/2 mile over uneven and cobblestone surfaces with 15-30 steps. Guests who are planning to visit religious sites during free time or on tour, please dress appropriately. No bare shoulders or shorts are allowed. Time permitting; you’ll have approximately 40 minutes for shopping and browsing.

Split Old Town & Trogir Medieval City

Port: Split, Croatia

The town of Trogir is situated on a small island squeezed in between the mainland and the larger island of Ciovo. The tiny island is connected to the mainland with a bridge.

The streets are narrow and they truly give a feel of how life might have been in the old days. You’ll visit the main attraction in Trogir - the Cathedral of St. Lawrence. This 13th century building is probably the finest example of Sacral architecture in Croatia. Other fine buildings that will be viewed are the Town Loggia, the Town Hall, among others. After visiting Trogir, you’ll have free time to explore the town on your own before boarding the bus back to Split. The Old Town of Split is built on and around the spectacular Roman Palace erected by the Roman Emperor Diocletian. The walking tour starts with a walk through the cellars that are still very well preserved. The cellars offer a good idea of how life in the palace was organized. You’ll also see the very interesting Cathedral of St. Duje (patron saint of the city). The cathedral is built on the remains of an ancient shrine and is supposed to be the oldest in the world. Other sites such as the Golden Gate, the Silver Gate and the Peristyle Square will be seen from the outside. Note: During summer months expect extreme heat, crowded venues and long lines.
