The historic area
of Trogir, located on a small island, is on the UNESCO list of World Heritage
Sites because of its preserved Venetian architecture, including Renaissance and
Baroque buildings and palaces, Romanesque churches, the Fortress Kamerlengo (a
castle with towers), and the city loggia (a furnished public gathering space).
Trogir is considered the best-preserved Romanesque-Gothic complex not only in
the Adriatic, but in all of Central Europe. The city gate and city walls,
Duke's Palace, and the Cathedral are among its most important sites.
Before departing
Trogir, we enjoyed some al fresco drinks on the terrace at Restoran Krka, a
cafe positioned alongside the Konoba Riva. Because our drive toward Plitvice
Lakes took approximately 3 hours, we made a stop at a roadside rest area along
the way. Upon arrival in Rakovica, just outside Plitvice Lakes, we checked into
the Hotel Degenija, enjoyed happy hour drinks at their on-site Plum Caffe, and
experienced our most memorable dinner of the entire trip at neighboring venue Degenija
Restoran. There, we dined on the unforgettable veal peka (veal cooked under the
iron bell), which we had to reserve ahead of time when we booked our table.
