Trogir, Croatia

With a population of just 12,393, Trogir may seem quaint, but the reality is a bureaucratic headache for expats. The historic town on the Adriatic coast boasts a UNESCO-protected medieval core, but its hot summers often reach 31°C and winters dip as low as 4°C. While Trogir draws tourists to its Venetian architecture, residents must navigate the lingering effects of its shifting rule by Hungarian, Venetian, and Croatian powers over the centuries. This blending of influences has left its mark on the city's character - for those seeking an authentic, if at times frustrating, Dalmatian experience, Trogir could be the right fit.
