Jezera, located on the scenic island of Murter, is named for the "lakes" that appear in its karst depressions during the rainy seasons of autumn and winter.
The town's sheltered bay was likely a key factor that attracted early settlers around the early 13th century. Today, Jezera is celebrated for its sunny, clear days, beautiful bays, and tranquil beaches, providing a serene escape for all who visit. Renowned as a gateway to the majestic Kornati National Park, Jezera is an ideal starting point for sailing adventures. The town is also home to a marina with 250 berths available year-round, catering to nautical tourists with its blend of modern facilities set in a picturesque, historical backdrop. Culinary enthusiasts will enjoy the local cuisine, particularly the traditional fish dishes that reflect Jezera's enduring fishing heritage.
