Trogir is a picture-perfect town that’s often called one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe. Sitting on a small island between the mainland and Čiovo, just 17 miles from Split, it’s a natural stop for anyone cruising Croatia by yacht. This tiny UNESCO World Heritage site has everything close together: narrow stone alleys, ancient churches, charming waterfront bars, and just offshore, quiet anchorages and beach spots perfect for swimming. For yacht charters, it’s the kind of destination that makes you want to slow down, walk a little slower, eat a little longer, and stay just one more night.

The moment you step into the old town, you’ll see why it’s special. The marble streets twist around Romanesque churches and Renaissance buildings, opening up to sunny courtyards and a beautiful main square. You can start your walk at the Land Gate, pass by the statue of St. John the patron, and wander toward the Cathedral of St. Lawrence. The climb up the bell tower is worth it for the view over the rooftops, marina, and the sea beyond. Nearby, the 15th-century Kamerlengo Castle and the Cipiko Palace offer even more to explore.

One thing locals love about Trogir is how the town blends the old with the new. Inside these centuries-old walls you’ll find art galleries, boutique shops, and cafés tucked between historical sites. You can sit at a waterfront restaurant where fishermen still bring in the day’s catch, but now you’re also watching superyachts dock across the promenade. There are over 100 restaurants in town, and many of the best ones are right on the water. The food leans toward grilled seafood, lamb, and local olive oil, all seasoned with traditional herbs. Trogir is proud of its food culture, and a long lunch or sunset dinner here is just part of the rhythm of life.

Trogir also makes a great base for short yacht hops. From the town’s marina or anchorages nearby, you’re within easy reach of the Blue Lagoon near Drvenik, quiet coves on Čiovo, or even day trips to Split and Šolta. There’s no rush here. Many captains will tell you this is one of the easiest and most rewarding stops on the Croatian coast, especially for combining sightseeing, swimming, and eating well.

When the sun sets, the town has a gentle buzz. You’ll hear live music from the town square, see couples walking the promenade, and spot guests relaxing aboard their yachts with a glass of wine. In summer, there are also concerts in the old town hall courtyard and occasional festivals. For a place with so much history, Trogir still knows how to enjoy the moment.

It’s easy to see why Trogir has become a favorite stop on Mediterranean yacht charters. It’s beautiful, historic, and welcoming, with great access to the sea and local life that’s relaxed but lively.
