Mediterranean Adventures: Split -Trogir

Plitvice Lakes
Hot morning and a cooler evening
Ethno Houses Plitvice Selo

We travelled along the Dalmatia coastline for the last time with a morning stop over at the quaint island of Trogir which is accessed by a bridge.
Trogir is a very pretty village and attracts a lot of tourists. The day was hot so we appreciated the narrow alleyways in the shade.
Our first stop was at the Cathedral of St Lawrence and to admire its Romanesque Gothic architecture. The local sculptor and architect created the magnificent finely carved portal which was finished and signed in 1240.

Lovely alleyways wind in and out of Trogir with many shops and restaurants. Ice cream shops are very popular in this heat.

The Kairos......seize the day!

The door way leading to the marina with another island in the background accessed by a bridge.

The finely carved portal showing the majority of the seasons of the year.

After our tour we were able to wander and explore the town further. An ice cream was in order for this hot day. We then found a supermarket to purchase wine on the advice of our tour leader as the mountain lodges we were going to had a lovely garden area to sit back and enjoy the cooler air and sunsets.

We said goodbye to the harsh Mediterranean mountains which have abutted the Dalmatian coast and travelled through the St Rock Tunnel which is 5kms long. Once we emerged we could see that the terrain had changed and there were many more trees and greenery.

We had and early dinner of chicken soup, roasted pork and potatoes which is very traditional and a ricotta crepe dessert before we headed up to to our final stop over for two nights.
