Walk or dive through the living history - above and under the sea

The island of Murter is located in the northwest part of the Šibenik archipelago, separated from the mainland by narrow sea canal at Tisno which is spanned by a 12 meter draw-bridge. Four settlements make up this lovely island – Murter, Betina, Jezera and Tisno – and it has been inhabited for nearly two millennia. 

TANGRAM pilot action - sustainability in harmony with nature

Through the TANGRAM project Association Argonauta installed information and education boards on the Raduč hill which provide visitors with information about the island's history, and placed underwater sculptures at Podvrške beach not only as a tourist attraction, but also as a structure that will help form artificial reefs that can attract a host of marine species including corals, sponges, hydroids and algae, increasing overall reef biomass and aggregating fish species, which in turn can support an entire marine ecosystem.

A journey through time and nature

The Kornati archipelago is one of the most indented clusters of islands in the entire Mediterranean Sea, boasting almost 150 islands. Most of the islands are located in the outer cluster, and in 1980 they were declared a national park together with the Kornat island. Not counting the largest islands of Kornat and Žut, the islands forming the archipelago are very small. Kornat, the largest among them, partially spreads out into several chains, home to fields and olive groves.

Apart from being the most indented cluster of islands in the Mediterranean, the Kornati islands are also known for their “crowns” - steep vertical cliffs facing the open sea.

Their third specificity is their bareness, since the islands were systematically burned so as to renew pastures. The sea around the Kornati islands has always been rich in fish, among the richest in the Adriatic.

Nowadays, the Kornati islands are a favorite among visitors and sailors. Their numerous coves, capes, underwater cliffs and rocks are very appealing to divers and visitors looking for adventures, while drywalls on the Kornati islands are constant silent witnesses to the arduous work the farmers put into the unfruitful, rocky soil surrounded by crystal clear sea
