clear views after windy cold night - Otok Murter

boats in Murter port

Murter is one of the smaller islands in Dalmatia, closest city is Sibenik, which is in Middle Adriatic.

We enjoy its dynamic terrain and stone and rock beaches in secluded gulfs. I could spend hours with my head drowned in clear water, with glasses and tube, snorkeling - and following groups of fishes, while the sea bed landscape provide many diverse habitats for lots of sea animals and plants. Sand, stones and rocks on the bottom makes the colors intense, and these are intersected with green and blue, turquoise. Wild colors.

If you ask someone: Are there urchins?

Yes, they are! Plenty of them. Sometimes medusa, too. But why would that stop you from going into water - you can avoid the conact with urchins. You can just swim away from them :)

On a clear day you will see all the way to Kornati. If you haven't been there - go and see, they are just different place and they are National Park.

Cudovite barve morja!! Spominja na moj skriti rajski otocek Providencia na Kolumbijskih Karibih. Lahko verjamem, da se radi vracate :) Ko sem brala o morski vecerji sem postala tako lacna, da me je kar odneslo do hladilnika ;)
