Just learnt that my family have reached a very old town of Trogir in Chroatia on their cross-Europe trip! Finding a hotel was a bit of a problem in the narrow medieval streets, but they finally got there!
'The ancient town of Tragurion ("island of goats") was founded as a
trading settlement by Greek colonists from the island of Vis (Zssa) in
the 3rd century BC on an islet at the western end of the bay of Manios,
in a strait between the mainland and one of the Adriatic islands, where
there was already a small settlement. The Hellenistic town was enclosed
by megalithic walls and its streets were laid out on a "Hippodamian"
grid plan: the line of the ancient cardo maximus is that of the modem
main street.'(from UNESCO site)
