CURVESCOUT / MOTORCYCLE RIDE
The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
From Trogir it runs 167 km to Trogir; allow about 2 h 55 of riding. It goes by way of Historical Complex of Split with the Palac, Velika and Mala Crljivica and back through Historical Complex of Split with the Palac. It was put together for the scenery rather than the shortest line.
This part of the ride is 20 km of Adriatic Highway, Jadranska Magistrala.
Trogir is an island, though you barely notice it. The old town sits on a tiny islet between the mainland and the larger island of Čiovo, linked to both by short bridges, and inside its walls is one of the best preserved medieval towns on the Adriatic, a UNESCO site of narrow lanes, stone palaces and churches, crammed into an area you can walk across in five minutes.

Historic City of Trogir is where the day begins. Next is Historical Complex of Split with the Palac.
Few cities have grown inside a palace, but Split did exactly that. Around the year 300 the Roman emperor Diocletian, born in nearby Salona, built himself a vast fortified retirement residence on the shore of the Adriatic, a rectangle of walls, towers and gates. When Salona was sacked in the seventh century, refugees moved into the palace, and over the following centuries they turned its halls and corridors into streets and houses. The result is a living old town where medieval and Renaissance homes lean on Roman walls and washing hangs between ancient columns.

Historical Complex of Split with the Palac comes up 37 km in. Next is Velika and Mala Crljivica.
Behind the Makarska Riviera the land climbs abruptly into the grey limestone of Biokovo, and on the inland side of that range lies a high, stony plateau called the Dalmatian Zagora, a country of dry-stone walls, thin soil and scattered villages. Velika and Mala Crljivica, the Greater and Lesser Crljivica, sit in this landscape near the small town of Lovreć, about twenty-one kilometres from Omiš and a little further from Imotski, and the site is a field of old tombstones.
