Trogir, Croatia
We walked around Split for a while, but it was very busy with too many people trying to sell us tours. A quick search was done, popped over to Trogir, booked an Airbnb while on the bus and that was that. When we arrived there was no other tourist. Thinking it was going to be hard to get around because no one spoke English but oddly enough that was not a problem at all. Everyone was so happy to see us and talked to us in Croatian… Didn’t understand a thing but it was still fun.
We were given homemade cakes on our arrival by the lady who owned the house. Then, speaking no English at all, gave us a lovely tour around her house. We didn’t actually meet anyone who spoke English, but everyone was so nice and expressive that it didn’t matter.
The town its self-was very lively. We stayed for two nights and each of them they had a little street festival going on. Older people sat and watched the young kids run around like hooligans. Everyones nightly activity was to hang out in the streets and drink beer with friends. The sunsets are spectacular because the town is split on different bodies of land. Connected by bridges it is a series of two islands. There is one bigger island and in between this and the mainland, there is a small little island. You can watch the sunset from one of the bridges where you can see the colors of the sky changing behind the castle on the small island.
Where to eat:
We wandered out to look for food one night and found a restaurant tucked in an alleyway, Konoba Cicibela (sorry they don’t have a website just a location). Of course, no English was spoken, but we were able to order a meat plate. This is not like other countries where you might get a small sampling of meats, no. You get one kilo plus side dishes. The waiter was very impressed even though we weren’t able to finish everything.
Where to stay:
Cute Airbnb with the nicest lady ever.
