THE DIAMONDS OF THE BALKANS

Croatia already surprises by its strange shape. The arc that the country represents is explained by the history and very particular issues that make the richness and diversity of Croatia today. The country reconciles a long coastal line with one of the largest concentrations of islands in the world marked by the Mediterranean context and the continental Pannonian plains closely linked to the Austro-Hungarian plains. These two sets of landscapes are bounded by the Julian Alps in the north and the Dinaric ranges that descend to Greece. Whether on the coast or in the plains, Croatians have always been a trading people, benefiting from their position at the crossroads of multiple trade routes, often dating back to antiquity and even further in the past. Thus the city of Trogir was the site of an ancient Greek colony

The original Roman palace has been continuously transformed throughout history, each era leaving its mark to give this magma of architectural styles in constant turmoil, today the center of the second largest city in Croatia and the second port of the country. Its cathedral is the oldest in the world and a beautiful illustration of the spirit of Split because it was the mausoleum of the greatest persecutor of Christians, the emperor Diocletian. The paradoxical state of preservation of the Emperor Diocletian's palace has earned it its place on the UNESCO World Heritage List. You will discover an extraordinary monument

Departure from Split airport (Trogir)

Steps: Trogir

Trogir is located on a small island very close to the mainland to which it is connected by a bridge. Another bridge allows you to get from Trogir to the neighboring island of Čiovo! The island of Trogir is an ancient Greek colony founded in the 4th century BC. Its commercial past can be seen in the rich architecture of its palaces and cathedral with a revolutionary portal for the time. The charm of the old city is also to get lost in its maze of medieval streets where the past coexists with the present. This beauty of every moment explains its classification by UNESCO and the discovery of a bas-relief representing the Greek god Kairos, the god of the happy moment... but beware: he runs very fast
