| |
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.
