Beach in Mastrinka

The beach stretches through the settlement of Mastrinka, from Sveti Križ to Trogir. For the period from 2024 to 2028, the municipal management plan provides for three pedal boats in Mastrinka and four kayaks at Tri Sestrice beach; both provisions are planned for a period of two to five years. If pedal boats or kayaks are important to your plans, check their availability locally.

Cycling on Čiovo

The official MTB Route 30, “Trogir from Above,” runs through Čiovo, Balan, Žedno, Arbanija and Mastrinka, then returns to Balan on Čiovo. It is 13.9 kilometres long, has 346 metres of elevation gain and a stated riding time of 1:00 to 1:30 hours; it is suitable for MTB and e-MTB bikes.

Check the conditions before setting off if you plan to include the descents in your ride.

It is 20.5 kilometres long, has 526 metres of elevation gain and is classified for MTB and e-MTB bikes.

Culture in the wider destination of Trogir

The wider destination of Trogir has its own historical focus. Trogir is a medieval town built on the layout of a Hellenistic and Roman city. Kamerlengo Fortress was built between 1420 and 1437 on the southwestern side of the island where Trogir’s historic old town is located. The large and small Cipicco/Ćipiko palaces were formed by joining Romanesque buildings. The Cathedral of Sveti Lovre is known for its 13th-century Radovan Portal. The portal dates from the 13th century, while Kamerlengo Fortress was built in the 15th century; the two structures therefore represent different historical periods.

Hearty dishes associated with Trogir include Peka, Brodetto and Buzara. Trogirski rafiol is a traditional specialty with a long history in Trogir. Another cultural reference is the well-known “Trogirska četvorka” dance performed by KUD Kvadrilja, which consists of four dances.
