Geography

The town of Murter spans the following areas:

  • Hramina cove, where a marina has been built, protected from all winds, making it a safe shelter for yachts.
  • Slanica cove, which features a sandy beach, as well as an auto camp and a hotel ("Colentum")
  • The old part of the Murter, called "Selo" (the Village), located near the hill Raduč and closer to the island's interior.

    • Due to Murter residents' growing concentration on the sea, the newer part of Murter was built on the coast of Hramina.
