It is hard to find a city like Šibenik. The beauty of nature around Šibenik can’t be compared to many places. Mighty Krka river holds Šibenik’s back. That is for sure one of the most beautiful national parks in Europe. That mesmerizing river is more than enough to attract visitors, but Krka is just one of Šibenik’s treasures.
The city of Šibenik is magnificent on its own. Made out of stone, full of forts, Šibenik is built to last for thousands of years.
Even that is not everything Šibenik has to offer. In front of it, scattered in the Adriatic sea you can find many islands. One more beautiful than another.
The island which attracts visitors with natural beauty and colorful summer programs is connected to the land with a rising bridge. That makes it approachable with a car, but real pleasure hides in reaching Murter with the boat. That gives unique opportunity to feast your eyes and soul on the beauty that was gifted to Murter.
What Murter has to offer?
Everything.
Beautiful beaches will keep you cool while the Sun burns everybody under it. You can always find a beach without a crowd so you can relax and enjoy a well-deserved vacation. If you want to take it to the next level, Murter can take care of that too. Islands around it are unpopulated. That means you can be alone on some beach if you manage to reach those islands.

Everybody loves a good story. Murter has a rich history which is full of exciting events. We’ll let you discover them on your own. Walking around and speaking to locals is the perfect way of discovering secrets Murter hides. And it hides a lot. People have been living there since ancient history.

Skradin’s ancient name was Scardona. The similarity in the names might be just a coincidence, but coincidences rarely happen.
Silleto award for 2018. went to Betina on Murter. That is an award given by European museum forum to museums which work hard to include local people into the preservation of history.
Betina Museum of wooden shipbuilding was created to show the world a long tradition of shipbuilding. They include locals in their work because nobody can know tradition as good as people who live there for generations. That is a place, definitely worth visiting.
