Croatia is situated in south-east side of Europe and covers an area of 56.542 km2 with 31.067 km2 of territorial waters. The coast including islands, cliffs and reefs is 5.835 km long. There are 1.185 island, islets and reefs in the Adriatic sea, so it is not strange that Croatia is known as a land of thousand islands. Each of the islands has its own particular story and place in history. In spite a great number only 66 of them are inhabited. 






 

Because of it's position that stretches from the foot of the Alps in the north-west and the Plannonian Plain in the east, over the mountain range Dinara in the central region, to the Adriatic Coast in south, Croatia covers an area of great diversity. All these has made a land a place of rare beauty. What makes Croatian people proud is the untouchable nature protected in numerous nature reserves and 8 national parks (Islands, Brijuni, Kornati and Mljet, River Krka, Plitvice Lakes, Paklenica canyon, Risnjak wooded mountain massive and north part of the mountain massive Velebit).

What made Croatia important in the history and nowadays is Adriatic sea. Lots of battles were waged for our Island and for the power on the Adriatic Sea. All those who have already visited Croatia or have heard about it, certainly know that Croatian sea is not just one of the most beautiful but the cleanest as well. If you ask in Croatia what sea means for Croatian people the majority will answer that 'sea is a life here'. Life on our island is slow and more traditional but prepared to take what modern civilization has to offer to make life easier. Fishery is the most important activity.

MARINA MURTER   The island of Murter belongs to the group of northern Dalmatian islands, lying between the cities of Zadar and Šibenik.
How to get to Murter - click here:    The island of Murter belongs to the North Dalmatian group of islands, which contains almost 40 % of all Croatian islands and is the most dense archipelago in both the Adriatic and the Mediterranean.   ( One hour by car from Split)
Murter is located in the northwest of both the Šibenik archipelago, as well as the Šibenik county. Only 6 meters away from land and connected with it by a bascule bridge, the island is very easy to reach, which makes it even more attractive. There are four towns located on the island - the older ones, Murter and Jezera, and the newer ones, Tisno and Betina. Most of the island is covered with age- old olive trees and fig-trees, which are the main traditional crops grown by the natives.
Mean land, which used to be the cause of hard life and poverty, has turned into an attraction - desolate sandy bays have become the most visited beaches, and Kornati have been recognized as one of the most beautiful and best preserved landscapes in the world.
The island of Murter is famous for its sandy and gravel- beaches, such as Slanica, Kosirina, Čigrađa, Podvršak, Lovišća... There is also a large number of small bays hidden from view and far away from the heat of larger beaches.
