Trogir
We will be driving up from Dubrovnik to the Split Airport. Since our flight is later in the day, we were thinking of taking a quick detour to Trogir before turning in our rental car at the airport. Even though the airport is close, I am sure that traffic and parking outside the city might be an issue.
I don't know how much time we will have but the city looks small. Is it worth taking a few hours to explore? And, what would be the "don't miss" sites considering the limited time we will have?
Trogir is definitely worth a visit. The old town can be explored in half a day. Everything worth seeing is there.
Normally it would take around 10-15 minutes to get to the airport, but if you are traveling on June-August it could take some half an hour.
I agree well worth a visit.
The main interest is in the old town which is an island. I suggest you park the car on the airport side of town for a quick getaway and walk across the bridge to the centre. You will see the entire place in a few hours.
If you like ice cream you will be in heaven!
You'll need to make an early getaway from Dubrovnik to do it, but depending on just how late in the afternoon your flight is, you should be able to manage a couple of hours at least in Trogir. It is tiny so you can easily see the sights in a short time. The cathedral and the main square are the main sights, a stroll along the little Riva to the small fort, a wander around the narrow streets, lunch maybe in one of the restaurants, at least a stop for a cold drink and a bit of people watching - the square's the ideal spot for that. We found parking near the fort quite easily in mid-June, later in the summer could be more problematical.
Thanks for the information...
I definitely will try and visit the city even if it is only for short time. I agree we will need to get an early start from Dubrovnik.
Hi We spent a few hours in Trogir and enjoyed it, photos on my page.
Good Luck,

Along the Trogir Channel side and particularly along the northern channel side of Trogir's Old Town, you'll see hundreds of boats. It's like a big boat parking lot. Some of them are simple fishing vessels and others are true pleasure crafts. With so many amazing islands and villages along the Adriatic coast, it's not a bad place to go for a sail.
Trogir is a remarkable example of urban continuity. The orthogonal street plan of this island settlement dates back to the Hellenistic period and it was embellished by successive rulers with many fine public and domestic buildings and fortifications. Its beautiful Romanesque churches are complemented by the outstanding Renaissance and Baroque buildings from the Venetian period.
Because of the above, the historical centre of the city found its place among other world monuments of culture under the protection of UNESCO.
The church/monastery complex is located on the Riva-which is called Obala Bana Berislavica. The church and complex was built over the 14th-15th centuries. It is still an active monastery today, even though not as active as in the past. Inside are the coffins of Simun and Ivan Sobota. The courtyard is peaceful and serene for a nice visit.
The church is open for visiting and they also have a small treasury (not worth much time to spend there) for a fee of 10 kuna. They do not have entry to the bell tower.
In a side street, on top of an entrance, this bas-relief looks strange. It is decorated by freshly collected branches. On the left, a bearded man in a Middle Ages outfit walks over the Sea and holds a large sword as if it was a fold umbrella. On the right, a bare faced man in the same outfit, but with a huge left hand, holds a sword as if it was a stick. I have been unable to give an interpretation of the carving in the middle. There seems to be a pea-cock, a rolled document but there must be something else ?
