Trogir's Cathedral
After exploring the castle, make your way over to Trogir’s Cathedral (Katedrala Sv. Lovre), also known as the Cathedral of St. Lawrence. This cathedral is widely considered one of the finest architectural achievements in Croatia. Construction of this splendid three-aisled structure, built on the site of an ancient church destroyed by the Saracens, commenced in 1193 and continued for many years until finally completed around 1500. One of the most notable features is the amazing Romanesque door, carved in 1240 by Master Radovan, and flanked on either side by two stone lions. Other interesting highlights include a 47-meter-tall, 14th-century bell tower, well worth climbing.
Let’s have lunch in Il Ponte!
Just a stone’s throw from the city center, this elegant restaurant boasts a beautiful dining room with a veranda and stylish furnishings which play with a blue-and-yellow colour scheme. The modern cuisine is inspired by the Mediterranean and local traditions, coupled with the occasional imaginative touch. Excellent desserts, an attractive outdoor space, plus a kitchen which is open non-stop from midday to dinner. Restaurant il Ponte is located near the wooden bridge in Trogir, after it got its name, as il Ponte in Italians means bridge. From the restaurant you have a view over the wooden bridge, the sea and the old town (in the foreground the tower of St. Mark) which is under the protection of UNESCO, as well as the entire city of Trogir. The restaurant has an internal main hall, an outdoor glazed terrace overlooking the sea and the old town and summer terrace while some of the seats are below sea level, along with many Croatian wine labels. With their extensive menu, there will be something for everyone in your party to enjoy. Paired with excellent local wines, sit back and relax while you take it all in. Don’t forget to leave some room for dessert!
Bring your loved ones to the Croatian beach
The Dalmatian Coast is famous for its calm and blue water, which is perfect for swimming and for its pebble beaches. While there are no beaches in Trogir’s city center there are a number of beautiful options within a short walk or drive. What a perfect way to spend your afternoon! Medena Beach is in Seget Donji, which is a village located some four kilometers from Trogir. Your driver will bring you to Medena Beach for a quick stroll after lunch.
Did you pick up some souvenirs or some local products to bring home as a souvenir? It is not too late! Your crew know exactly where the best shops are. Once you are all set, the tender will bring you back to your yacht, where your chief stewardess is waiting for you and your loved. Favorite cocktail in hand, take in the view of Trogir when the sun is setting, before you get ready for dinner on board under the stars. What a perfect day in Croatia!
