Dalmatian Coastline Self-Drive

Arrive at Split Airport, where our local representative will welcome you and assist with your car hire, providing guidance for your departure day. Begin your five-day journey along the stunning Dalmatian Coast with a short drive to Trogir, a remarkable town with origins dating back to ancient Greek times. The town’s name is linked to a Greek tragedy, and within the St Nicholas Benedictine Monastery you can still see a stone fragment of Kairos, the god of favourable moments. Explore Trogir’s rich history as you wander through its medieval streets, surrounded by crystal-clear waters and notable landmarks including elegant palaces, grand cathedrals, ancient walls, and a striking castle. We recommend visiting the Cathedral of St Lawrence and climbing its bell tower for spectacular views over the town. To deepen your experience, consider joining our optional guided tour to learn more about Trogir’s fascinating past. Overnight in Trogir on a bed-and-breakfast basis.
