Jezera

Jezera (the Lakes) is the smallest town on the island of Murter. It was named after large pools of water which flow into the valley during autumn and wintertime and look like real lakes. Although these "lakes" usually  disappear with the first rays of spring sun, it  is this natural phenomenon that the region has always been famous for.

It was probably due to mean soil that residents of Jezera became such excellent fishermen and seamen. Even today the town still looks like a typical Dalmatian fishing village,  although it has turned into one of the largest fishing centres in Central Dalmatia.

In case you would like to have fresh fish, calamari, shrimps or mussels - Jezera is the right place for you! Coming to town quay at dusk and buying sea food directly from fishermen, who just came back from sea, will be an unforgettable experience!
