TROGIR, CROATIA

---

Last night sailing down the Adriatic we reached Croatia. The Dalmatian Coast is beautiful, dotted with many little islands. One of the larger islands (still quite small) is Trogir. Trogir is connected to the mainland by a bridge and to another island by a second bridge. No one lives on Trogir because it is too expensive and their is no place to park. Trogir was founded in the 3rd century BC by the Greeks. It was then inhabited by the Roman and then became a part of the Byzantine Empire. In 1420 the Venetians moved in and stayed until 1797. It only takes about one hour to explore the whole city. The streets are narrow and cobbled. There is a main square where there is a 15th century clock tower and a cathedral. The cathedral is interesting in that the steeple has four different styles of architecture on it. There are many cafe's, restaurants and ice cream parlors along the small streets.



It was a beautiful day. The weather was warm, about 75 degrees.
