Two UNESCO and Game-of-Thrones-grade landmarks in a single half-day: Trogir, a perfectly preserved Venetian island-city connected to the mainland by a single bridge, and Klis Fortress, the dramatic clifftop stronghold that Game of Thrones fans will recognise instantly as Meereen's slave city. Together they deliver the full sweep of Dalmatian history — Roman, Venetian, and Ottoman — in four hours of genuinely jaw-dropping scenery.
What to expect
Klis Fortress sits on a sheer limestone crag above Split, offering vertiginous views of the Dalmatian coast — the medieval battlements are extraordinarily photogenic and the fortress café serves local spirits inside the walls. Trogir's old town is a single pedestrianised island: the 13th-century Cathedral portal by Master Radovan is considered the finest Romanesque sculpture in Croatia, and the Venetian loggia and clock tower are postcard perfection. Lunch at a waterfront konoba in Trogir with a glass of Pošip white wine is the ideal finale.
Good to know
Trogir is only 27 km from Split (25-minute drive); Klis is just 13 km (15 minutes). Visit Klis first to beat midday heat, then Trogir for lunch and afternoon strolling. Both sites are open daily. Book your private driver in advance; the Split taxi association (Radio Taxi Split: +385 21 777 777) is a reliable direct option. Return comfortably before all-aboard.
