Kosirina, the gulf and beaches
picek Says: Beautiful landscape and splendid, clear views open upon Kosirina gulf - here's also a camp which includes both naturist and 'usual' tourists, but we come here mainly because of clear and cool waters, rocky and pebble shores which will guarantee excellent snorkeling and...
picek Says: The rocky and stone beaches are plenty on Murter and these are great for snorkeling. How diverse is the life on sea bed - and it takes so little to see it, though only through your glasses - a rather economic way to explore the water world comparing with diving for which you...
picek Says: Betina is nicest, small town on Murter; its historic core has been well preserved with ancient streets and houses of stone. Main attraction is St. Francis Asissi church with red, onion shaped bell tower. The church was built 1736, it's centrally located in town and it is its...
on the foot to explore town Murter
picek Says: Like anywhere else by the seaside Murter has some ancient and narrow streets, lively corridors between the stone built houses with lower facades, their roofs more flat than steep to allow 'bura' (the strong wind) finding its way without much harm for the architecture.Murter...
picek Says: Murter is town on the Northwestern side of the island, inhabited since pre-history and previously called Veliko selo (large village) and Srimac (from 13th century till mid 1715); it's now home of 2000 inhabitants - the number of people is lot higher in peak seasons when its...
Plitka vala site: boats and swimming together
picek Says: The name says shallow bay, and that's what you can get here: shallow water, and small boat yard with tourist boats, those smaller ones which people bring together with them.Camp has more pine shade than Kosirina, but beach is different: gravel, concrete and some rocks. If...
Autocamp in Kosirina: Kosirina camp(s)
picek Says: It's a little tricky situation here so let me explain: there is a campsite in Kosirina and another in Plitka vala, but both use common reception in Autocamp Matija, which is in Plitka vala. We prefer Kosirina (so let this tip stand for it) for swimming and snorkelling, beach...

For us this place has became a must and we would eat at least once every time we travel to Dalmatia . Few similar style restaurant are clustered by the road Zadar-Sibenik, by intersection of roads to Tisno and Murter - almost in the middle of nowere, but that's just a first impression.
Favorite Dish: This place serves excellent seafood and fish from Adriatic sea. I believe their grilled calamari are the best right in their restaurant (of course we won't need to say that the best food eaten anywhere is by your local friends, but that's other story). Unless you choose other side dish with them, you will get automatically fried mangold and potato. Both and all are very nice food.
If you want something little extra, but not too unusual try their grilled crabs (skapmi na zaru) or octopus salad.
If you were already tired of seafood and fish, then they have fresh 'odojak', young pig or .... you can choose grilled sheep (by words of a family memeber, that odojak was just as good).
The all food was served with nice home baked bread and lepinja, which was lovely.
There have also vegetarian meals here and fresh salads on the menu.

There are two fish markets on Murter islands if you want to purchase fresh fish for your barbecue in camp: one is in Betina by the road - you cannot miss that one - and other is in Murter town, in one of old market places near the sea, near the port.
You have to come early to both to get fresh catch. There are few kinds of fish (sardines, orada, brancin, skarpena), shrimp and shells, sea 'snakes'. If you come 10 am you are too late or you may get last pieces; come earlier (6.30-8.30 am) for best choice of fish and seafood.
What to buy: The seafood and fish is best when is fresh - buy their daily catch; it's so much better taste when it's fried or grilled. Support local fishermen and Murter folk.
What to pay: It's not so cheap like you might expect. Depends on season and kind of fish (enlarge the photo for price in July 2010).

Favorite thing: One of my favourite sounds from the seaside is by cicadas - these are a few centimeters large insects who live in the bushes and trees and make interesting, loud, piercing sound. You will get used to it - hear them in a day time. They are harmless, they don't bite - and it's little difficult to see them: they merge completely with the color of the environment. There's photo of cicada here - do you see it, between the skin of the pine tree stem?
