Raduč – views of the island and archipelago

A climb up Raduč rewards you with panoramic views of Murter's landscape, the sea and the surrounding islands. The hill is also known for the remains of former military installations. Before exploring tunnels or other military structures, check that they are accessible and safe to visit.

Church of St Roch – views over Murter

The Church of St Roch stands on Vršina Hill and is one of Murter's recognisable landmarks. Walk up to enjoy the views over the town and surrounding countryside. The viewpoint is especially beautiful in the late afternoon.

Murter and its surroundings offer cycling opportunities through villages and Mediterranean landscapes. Combine a ride with a visit to Betina, Murter's old town, Colentum or one of the viewpoints. Some routes lead towards Tisno, Pirovac and other places in the wider area.

Cycling is particularly pleasant in spring and autumn, when temperatures are milder and roads and attractions are less crowded than at the height of summer.

Before setting out, check the length and difficulty of your chosen route, the surface and whether it is suitable for your bicycle. Take enough water, sun protection and basic safety equipment.

Murter is an important departure point for trips to Kornati National Park. This remarkable archipelago is known for its many islands, islets, reefs and steep rocky shores. A boat trip lets you experience landscapes that are difficult to appreciate from land, with stops at selected places depending on the excursion itinerary.

During the tourist season, organised day trips are available on different types of boats. We recommend checking schedules, duration, prices, included services and booking options in advance.

For visitor information and park rules, see the official Kornati National Park website.

Dolphin watching

Time at sea may bring an opportunity to see dolphins in their natural habitat. Sightings cannot be guaranteed, and it is important to watch these animals from a distance without disturbing them.

For more information about dolphin-watching excursions, visit DOLPHIN WATCHING TOUR | Murter Trips.
