EXCURSIONS

Richmond will offer a wide variety of activities and excursions

Dalmatia is the most visited region of Croatia, because it offers so much to do and see. 

Croatia Exc Trogir 1

Visitors have the rich diversity of the rocky coastline and sandy beaches, the deserted islands and the splendid cities of this Adriatic Region.  The Adriatic culture which has developed has given Dalmatia an Italianate feel.

The location of today's Split- Dalmatia County, was inhabited early on, thanks to its mild climate, fertile soil and numerous springs of potable water.  Born surrounded by poor soil, rocks and sea, the Dalmatian people were determined to be sailors, fishermen and farmers. Cultivating crops as the grape vine, figs and tenacious olive trees, nourishing their numerous families on the poor soil, the land worker's life was arduous and the fisherman's even more so.

 


 

 

HISTORIC CITY OF TROGIR
The town was founded by the Greeks on a small island between the mainland and the island of Ciovo in the 2nd century BC. To follow its development and history you should start your walk at the main square and the town's cathedral of Saint Lawrence and explore its narrow streets. Trogir is an old town registered on UNESCO's list of cultural and natural heritage sites of world importance.

Coming from the central part of the island or using the road from the ferry harbour we arrive at the magnificent piazza, a square generally considered the most beautiful of the kind in Dalmatia, dominated by St. Stephen's Cathedral and bordered by the palaces of Groda and by the cascading stone-built houses of Burag.

Sibenik
Known for its scenic beauty and wealth of cultural and historic landmarks, Sibenik is a delightful 45 minute drive along the coast from Trogir, overlooking the Adriatic with a constant succession of varied islands in view.  There are so many must-see places to visit -  the intriguing town of Vodice has its nucleus located across the stone bridge from the mainland which has preserved the architectural heritage and authentic beauty of its narrow streets and close-built stone houses.  Sibenik itself is constructed like an Amphitheatre on the sloping hills from which the fotress of St Michael rises.  Its dramatic topography and sculptural style makea it unique on the Adriatic coast.   The silhouette of the City is clearly recognisable by the Gothic-Renaissance St James Cathedral, a masterpiece of Croatian architecture.  Together with the old town nucleus it comprises the Unesco World Heritage Site.
