    A Walking Tour of Trogir, Croatia

    Trogir was our Croatian home away from home for two memorable months. This picturesque old town has a fascinating history that goes back more than 2,300 years — in fact, it’s actually situated on an island! During our first weeks in Trogir, we preferred to soak up the town’s details bit by bit, leaving much…

  • Photo du Jour: The Impish Canines of Trogir, Croatia

    During the early morning hours, the streets of Trogir belong to the city’s canine residents. The dogs (known as pas in Croatian) roam the network of narrow streets in the Old Town, going about their business in a carefree manner.

  • Trogir’s Cathedral of Saint Lawrence: Radovan’s Magnificent Portal

    For the past weeks, much like a diner on a progressive dinner savoring multiple courses, I’ve been the chance to slowly absorb the details of the Cathedral of Saint Lawrence in Trogir, Croatia. I first admired the twelfth-century structure from afar as we watched Trogir’s animated Carnival parade a few weeks ago. Despite the parade craziness…
