Morning light strips the Adriatic bare: pebble beaches glitter, and a narrow coast road unfurls between olive terraces and the open sea. An early-riser day trip from Split threads these elements together — a few hours on Primosten’s sun-washed shore, a stroll through Trogir’s UNESCO-lauded lanes, and a long, honest Dalmatian lunch in a family-run konoba.
