Like everything in Croatia, every time you walk through its streets you feel like you’re in a movie or history book. Trogir is not the exception. You cross the bridge walking and you are already immersed in this fairytale town. Also movie, because in the fort of Trogir has also filmed The Game of the Thrones.
How to get to Trogir?
You can get to the car and what is parked in the parking lot, before crossing the bridge or on the buses that come from Split or Sibenik. The road is always very well indicated, and it is very easy to reach. It is located in the region of Dalmatia and is built on an island of 1 square km. If you arrive by plane, the airport of Split is located 5 km from Trogir.
Sailing in Croatia?
Acoording to www.noonsite.com, on the mainland opposite the western end of the island of Clovo, which is connected by a low bridge, Trogir is a useful port for crew changes, since it is close to the Split airport. Position 43 ° 30.9’N, 16 ° 15.2’E.
The recently renovated Trogir dock is an ideal place to dock, but it is almost exclusively reserved for mega-yachts during the summer season. Although it may be worthwhile to contact the port captain in advance to make a reservation.
The boats of less than 25 m in general dock in the nearby Marina Trogir (just across the Trogir coast) or on the coast of the island of Ciovo. It is recommended to call in advance to reserve a place. The yachts can anchor to the west of the old city, on the N side of the canal and within the 5 m contour. It is also possible to anchor 2 m east of the low bridge. The water in this port is very dirty, especially in summer.

Fort of Kamerlengo
This fort is also sometimes called “castle” and was made during the epochs of the Republic of Venice, in the middle of the fifteenth century, as an extension of the Torre Veriga that was already in this same place since the end of the fourteenth. In other times all this construction was attached to the walls that surrounded the city, but today you can see it alone.
Over time, this site was expanded, and among the new additions I recommend seeing the French gazebo that was made during the Napoleonic occupation of Dalmatia, as well as going to some of the shows that are presented there during the Trogir Summer Festival.
In this fort is where a season of the Game of the Thrones has been filmed
