About Trogir/Arbanija
Arbanija has about 350 residents and lies at 5 m above sea level on the D126 state road, on Čiovo, an island about 15 km long and up to 3.5 km wide that shelters Trogir and the Kaštela gulf. The village is named after the Arbanasi, ethnic Albanians who settled on this coast in the 18th century. A bridge has linked Čiovo with Trogir since 1964, and a newer bridge now runs from the island to the mainland, because the old link ran short of capacity in high season. Our homes sit tightly together, mostly for families and small groups.
