Jezera is a characterful fishing village on the island of Murter, frequently recognized as one of the most beautiful and well-kept small towns in Croatia. Its name comes from the small seasonal lakes that form in the karst fields during the rainy season. Despite the development of tourism, Jezera has kept its authentic soul, centered around fishing and seafaring. The town features a prestigious ACI Marina and is internationally famous for its Big Game Fishing competitions, targeting tuna and swordfish. The waterfront is lined with excellent restaurants serving the daily catch. Beaches like Lovišća provide crystal-clear water and plenty of amenities for families.
