A Beautiful Day Trip To Trogir From Split (Day 5)

Last Updated on: 12th August 2023, 04:45 pm

Although Split is a lovely place to visit, sometimes you just want to go somewhere else too. We decided to spend our last day in Trogir. Our train wasn’t until about 8 pm, so we thought we would leave our luggage at the left luggage place again and we took a day trip to Trogir.

There are a few different ways to get to Trogir. You can book an Uber or a private transfer, but that is expensive. You can also book a Flix Bus, which is an international company and one you can trust. The buses are few far and few between, but you can get a bus from Split to Trogir. As of today, you could get a bus at 10.30 am, 2 pm, 4 pm and 5.30 pm for a day trip to Trogir. They also have buses running at 5 am, 6 am and 7 am. Although too early for a day out. There are also local buses between Split and Trogir). You can also take a ferry, like we did.

Taking The Ferry To For A Day Trip To Trogir

The ferry takes just over an hour and will cost about 7 Euros. You do not need to book a place on the boat, and you pay when you get on it. You can find the boat in the harbour and you need to look for the boat that is marked ‘Bura Line’. The boat stops at Slatine for a few minutes and there is a nice beach there with some water sports.

The ferry arrives at Trogir and pulls into the harbour, where there is a short walk to the old town and the cafes. There are about 5 or 6 ferries from Split to Trogir (and back).

What To Do In Trogir

The historic old town of Trogir was used as a filming location for several scenes in the fictional harbour of Qarth. This is where the warlocks of Qarth had imprisoned Khaleesi’s dragons in the season 2. Also don’t miss to visit beautiful St. Dominic’s monastery which also served as a filming location for some of the scenes.

There are some lovely narrow streets to stroll down and a few shops to buy souvenirs. People seemed to have more time in Split and it seemed more relaxed. Although we went to an icecream parlour and the waitresses were so rude and horrible. If they rolled their eys any more, they would be rolling down the road! Its a shame because it could have spoiled a perfectly lovely day.

Mid afternoon we decided to head back to Split. We took the ferry back as it was a pleasant experience. But the way home was slightly rockier on the boat. It is easy to see why the boats get cancelled if the weather turns a little. But if the boats do get cancelled, you can use the bus or get a private car.

I think if I was to visit the area again, I would stay in Trogir instead of Split. Just a little tip, there are some restaurants on the harbourside. And they are all obviously competing against each other, so the prices are competitive and you can eat really cheaply.
