Welcome to Croatia Gems!

Ciovo Island

Ciovo Island is the largest island of the Trogir archipelago and is connected to the town of Trogir by a drawbridge! The beach resorts are wonderful (see Okrug Gornji and Dornji) and are lovely places for a stress free holiday. Aside from the beaches, Ciovo is also an interesting place historically. It’s been inhabited since prehistoric times and has a rich cultural heritage. Trogirs noblemen spent their holidays along the coast here!

Okrug Gornji

Okrug Gornji is situated on the Island of Ciovo and is probably the best beach destination of the area. Connected by a bridge and frequent bus service to the mainland, his is a brilliant location if you want the best of both worlds – beach by day and old town culture and nightlife of Trogir by night. Okrug is one of the oldest places on the island of Ciovo originating in around the 15th century as a fishing village. This area is good for the soul – crystal Sea, fresh sea-food etc.

Okrug beach is the most popular beach on the Trogir Riviera. Easy to get to, the beach is nicknamed ‘Copacabana’ and has may bars and restaurants to keep you refreshed both during the day and in the evening. The water sports centre caters for any energetic notions you may have!

Okrug Donji

This is a smaller village with more rustic charm - head in this direction if you want more secluded coves and walks.

Trogir

Trogir Unesco Heritage site is a must to visit (20km) - with harbour, cafe bars, restaurants, shops and galleries within the old town walls.

Split

Split, Dalmatias capital, is one of the most vibrant cities - Split Harbour offers regular local ferries to the islands of Brac, Hvar, Vis, Korcula and many more. There are also many places to visit here especially if you want to do a bit of sightseeing or discover more of the history of the area...The Palace of Roman Emperor Diocletian (who started to build his palace around 293AD) is a must see. And at the entrance to the city are the ruins of ancient Salona (once the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia), the biggest archaeological site on the Adriatic coast...
