Murter

The island of Murter belongs to the North Dalmatian group of islands, which contains almost 40 % of all Croatian islands and is the most dense archipelago in both the Adriatic and the Mediterranean. Murter is located in the northwest of both the Šibenik archipelago, as well as the Šibenik county. Only 6 meters away from land and connected with it by a bascule bridge, the island is very easy to reach, which makes it even more attractive.

There are four towns located on the island - Murter, Jezera, Tisno and Betina. Most of the island is covered with age - old olive trees and fig-trees, which are the main traditional crops grown by the natives.

The island of Murter is famous for its sandy and gravel - beaches, such as Slanica, Kosirina, Čigrađa, Podvršak, Lovišća... There is also a large number of small bays hidden from view and far away from the heat of larger beaches.

Betina

Thanks to its location and well- kept architecture, Betina is considered to be one of the most beautiful places in the Adriatic. 

The town is overlooked by a bell tower of the parish church of St. Francis of Assisi, built in 1736., work of Ivan Skok, a master-builder from Šibenik. There is a whole web of small streets leading from the church to the old town core.

Betina is by far famous for its caulkers - ship-builders, who make ships out of wood. The first ship-yard was built here in 1848 and it was a very modern one for that time. 

Nowadays, when caulking in the Adriatic is slowly dying out and giving way to plastic boats, with its old caulkers and a few small family ship-yards, Betina became the centre of caulking.
