 The bridge from the old city, Trogir

Trogir, which is 27 kilometers west of the city of Split in Croatia, is a UNESCO World Heritage site and should be a stop on every yacht charter itinerary for a crewed yacht charter in Croatia.  “Old Town” Trogir, the highlight of the area, is  located on a small island connected to the mainland via a bridge with a protected harbor for any yacht to overnight on a crewed yacht charter along the Croatian coast.  First established as a protected harbor by the Greeks in the 3^rd century BC, “Old Town” has had continuous urban settlement for the last 2300 years.  “Old Town” is considered one of the best examples of a Romanesque-Gothic Medieval walled city still in existence in Central Europe.  Tuck into the harbor on your crewed yacht charter and wander through “Old Town” Trogir along streets originally laid out in the Hellenistic time period.
