If you've been to Venice, but can't stand the prices, there's a place you can go where you can get a great taste of Venice at a reasonable rate. The place? The Dalmatian Coast - a region on the eastern Adriatic, dotted with thousands of wonderful islands, palm trees, beautiful scenery. It is a place the Venetians once conquered and built up, and much of their architecture remain, flavored by the Croatian (and former Yugoslavian) influences of this century.
Trogir is one of the Dalmatian Coast's wonders. It is a small island just north of the major Croatian city of Split, separated from mainlain Croatia by mere canals. The entire island has been built up like an old fortress, complete with high walls and towers. Its streets are wafer-thin and cobblestoned. In short -- it is like a small bit of Venice, but less crowded and less expensive than its more popular neighbor across the sea. The city has several major features -- such as the Trogir Castle -- the outer city wall, three large churches, and a large inner marketplace dominated by a massive clock tower and theater

I've never been in Croatia
I've never been in Croatia before but it seems a great place to visit. I'll keep it in mind. Thanks for the advice my friend!
