Murter (village)
| |
| |
The port of Murter lies at the head of a wide bay on the N coast of the island of Murter in Croatia, separated from the mainland by the mile wide channel of Pirovacki Zaljev.
Sheltered from N by a chain of small islets, Murter is the largest settlement on the island and has a history dating back before the Roman era. The ruins of the Roman village of Colentum, dating back to the 1st century AD, can still be seen NE of the village.
The village offers good facilities for visiting yachts in the shape of the 370-berth Marina Hramina on the NE side of the bay, a series of jetties on the S side where a yacht may find space alongside and a good anchorage off the village in the bay itself. Shelter in the bay is good except in very strong N/NE winds and in the marina excellent.
In the village is an office of the Kornati National Park Authority, where permits to visit the park can be purchased at a discount to the price charged on arrival.
