History
Jezera began as a medieval fishing hamlet—its name means “lakes,” after the rain-fed pools inland. Under Venetian rule it grew around its sheltered natural harbour, and today its stone architecture and maritime traditions are still very much alive.
Connectivity
Murter Island is linked to the mainland by a drawbridge at Tisno. Regular buses run to Šibenik (20 km away), and the nearest airports are Zadar (78 km) and Split (91 km).
Culture & Heritage
From 13th-century coastal chapels to local folk festivals (“Jezera’s Sea Days”), the village celebrates its Glagolitic liturgies, olive-pressing heritage and age-old boat-building craft.
Beaches & Nature
Slanica’s sandy shore and the rocky coves of Podvrške lie just a short walk away. Pine-fringed bays, hidden grottoes and crystal waters make every swim unforgettable.
Attractions & Tours
Daily boat excursions to Kornati National Park, semi-submarine dives, fishing trips and guided hikes up Raduč hill offer endless ways to explore the Adriatic.
Sports & Activities
Windsurfing, sailing regattas, scuba-diving, snorkeling and tennis courts in Jezera keep adrenaline levels high—while cycling and hiking trails showcase the island’s rustic charm.
Local Cuisine
Fresh-caught seafood, island-pressed olive oil and home-baked pastries star on menus. Don’t miss the riba na gradele (grilled fish) at a konoba overlooking the sea.
Festivals & Events
In summer, Jezera comes alive with the Fishermen’s Days, live klapa concerts, open-air art shows and the traditional “Blessing of the Fleet” at St. Kirin’s church pier.
Hidden Gems
Wander the olive groves to find centuries-old millstones, discover secret pebble beaches by kayak, or sample local honey at a family-run cooperative.
