 Jezera has a lovely setting |
The harbour of Jezera and its associated marina, Marina Jezera, lies on the SE coast of the island of Murter in Croatia, just over a mile S of the road bridge at Tisno connecting the island to the mainland of Croatia and a similar distance from the mainland itself. Situated in a well-protected natural inlet and sheltered from E winds by the small islet of Skoljic just off the harbour entrance, Jezera is a former fishing village and still has an active fishing fleet. Since the construction of an ACI-operated 225 berth marina here, however, the harbour is now shared with the cruising community. The town still retains most of its mediaeval street layout and is a picturesque and inviting place to explore.

See Murter Town for the approach from N and Tisno for the passage through the bridge. On closer approach to Jezera, it is possible to pass either side of the islet of Skoljic. There are no hazards in the approach from S except the numerous islets to be avoided. The harbour is entered by passing N of the outer breakwater, which has a light Fl. R. 5s on it. Depths in the entrance are 5.0 metres and on the marina jetties from 1.0 to 3.0 metres.
