 U. Knez from the NE |
The harbour of U. Knez is situated half a mile NW of the settlement of Mali Iz on the NE side of the island of Iž in Croatia. The harbour consists of a small, V-shaped inlet quayed at its head and three short stone jetties along which are small craft moorings. Visiting yachts can moor up up stern or bows-to the E side of the southernmost jetty, using the five mooring lines provided or pick up one of the mooring buoys laid by the two restaurants in the inlet. The inlet is protected from the N by the islet of Knezak but is open to winds from the E and the SE.

Knezak and Iž island, where there are least depths of 3.5 metres. However, in unsettled weather or with any swell running it is better to pass outside O. Knezak.

Places to Visit
The village is in an attractive setting, but its main appeal to the visiting yachtsman is the two restaurants in the inlet. There is a good walk up to the church of Sv. Marije on the hill to the S of the inlet, with superb views over Mali Iz to neighboring islands of Ugljan and Pašman.
