 Murter
island is a small island between Zadar and Sibenik, 7,46 mi long and
1,24 mi wide). The island is connected to the mainland by bridge in
Tisno. It is considered one of the most important nautical bases of
the Adriatic Sea.
There are four islands harbors: Jezera, Betina, Murter and Tisno.
Murter is a relatively little island, but there are all sorts of
beaches. The most beautiful is the sandy beach of Slanica bay in the
northwest of the island, near Murter town. Murter is also known as a
starting point for trips to Kornati National Park. Thanks to quiet,
pebble beaches in the place itself and nearby, surrounded by pine
woods, Murter is ideal for a family holiday. Apart from this, we
also recommend Murter to active holiday lovers due to tennis courts,
soccer fields, basketball courts and water sports equipment rental.
Numerous restaurants serve Dalmatian specialties and several
festivities take place in August.
There are five settlements on the Island. The main village is Murter village in the northwest. North
of Murter village are the remains of Roman houses with water
cisterns. Along the steep and indented southern coast is
Slanica bay
with shallow waters and fine sand, bordered by pine and olive trees.
The beach is popular with families during the day but at night the
region's partyers head to the beach bars and dance under the stars.
Another good beach spot is Tisno village which has two lovely
pine-rimmed beaches. South of Tisno is Jezero which has a small
harbour. Although named after the lakes (jezzero) that form after a
rainfall, most visitors come for the pleasant beach. Also in the
northeast is Betina village.which has a sandy beach and a marina.
It's a traditional fishing village and there are boats to rent.
