Rent a Bike in Trogir: Explore Ciovo Island, Beaches & Historic Monasteries
Pedal out of Trogir’s old harbor and across the bridge to Čiovo Island, where rocky coves, a 15th-century monastery and quiet beaches await. This flexible bike rental lets you design a day trip or a multi-day loop along the Dalmatian coast.
