Our friends have told us to stay at Trogir, rather than Split so after a harrowing day in rain, it finally eases off, we drop down, down down over the mountains to finally see the Dalmatian coast. Cloudy, then the sun appears! We have run up $70 in toll charges today.
It’s busy with tourists, buses, large and small boats parked all along the malecon, died with palm trees, cafes and restaurants. We cross two bridges to find our hotel on the second island. Our hotel is on the busy, noisy waterfront but the old stone walls hide a modern hotel, beautifully run and set up by the warm, gracious hosts at Villa Tudor, aria and Buck (and son Tudor). Solid windows seal out the traffic noise, and when you open the window and shutters, the view is of a medieval town, all red roofs, bell towers, and white stone buildings.
There is a wealth of restaurants tucked in every nook and cranny of the cobbled old town. Also gift shops, and the most amazing dessert/ice cream stores to rope you in on the way home from dinner. It’s a labyrinth and we need the Google maps app to find our way back to some of the places!
We are plagued with showers but enjoy exploring all along the coastline, the little Kastelas, a sprig of small towns all the way into Split. Fancy yachts are parked along the waterway and there are plenty of good restaurants to tempt the expensive looking clients in.
We have booked to return to Trogir and find we can ow return here. And after OCtober the rates are half so we will stay at this lovely boutique hotel again for E50 a night, plus E8 each for a great breakfast, cooked to order.
