3 Generations in August
Review Submitted: August 14, 2009

We were a party of 3 generations (myself, daughter and 2 grandchildren, 7 and 11) and found the Tower spacious and well laid out. The different floors actually provide good sound proofing - ideal if you feel the need for your own peace and quiet from time to time.
The Tower is perfectly located in the heart of everything (but no traffic and no outside noise so remarkably quiet). It's clean and well equipped with lots of extras, books, DVD's, plenty of towels and linen - even a picnic rucksack, first aid kit and umbrella, which luckily wasn't needed!
Temperatures around 30 celsius each day but you get a nice breeze on the beaches in the afternoon. Beaches are clean and the biggest bonus for us was NO flies or insect bites - something we're usually plagued with in hot places.
The booking process was easy and you get a very useful set of instructions from the owner before departure with detailed info on directions, facilities, telephone contact numbers etc. We took advantage of the airport transfer and were greeted by a very friendly host both on arrival and departure, which made the journey effortless.
Trogir is a great base with something for everyone. Choice of beaches (via regular 1/2 hour boat ferry, local bus every 20 minutes or walking); a magnificent waterfront fringed by numerous restaurants where you can sit for hours watching the boating activity and luxury yachts that come and go and a maze of old cobbled streets full of historical buildings (well worth doing the guided tour when you first arrive as it explains it all and gives you discounts in certain restaurants).
At night Trogir comes alive with free entertainment on the waterfront and in the main square - everything from acrobats, cooking demo's, local singing, street dancing and an excellent portrait artist, who draws large crowds (excuse the pun!).
We didn't have a car but found it very easy to travel on the bus - the bus station is nearby and offers a good reliable service to lots of destinations, including Split.
Would thoroughly recommend a visit to the National Park and Krka waterfalls - this was the highlight of our trip. We booked a guided tour through Portal travel agency and our guide was superb - I don't think we would have discovered half as much without his assistance.
Excellent 2 weeks - would definitely recommend it to friends/family.
