Croatia is situated in south-east side of Europe and covers an area of 56.542 km2 with 31.067 km2 of territorial waters. The coast including islands, cliffs and reefs is 5.835 km long. There are 1.185 island, islets and reefs in the Adriatic sea, so it is not strange that Croatia is known as a land of thousand islands. Each of the islands has its own particular story and place in history. In spite a great number only 66 of them are inhabited. 
Because of it's position that stretches from the foot of the Alps in the north-west and the Plannonian Plain in the east, over the mountain range Dinara in the central region, to the Adriatic Coast in south, Croatia covers an area of great diversity. All these has made a land a place of rare beauty. What makes Croatian people proud is the untouchable nature protected in numerous nature reserves and 8 national parks (Islands, Brijuni, Kornati and Mljet, River Krka, Plitvice Lakes, Paklenica canyon, Risnjak wooded mountain massive and north part of the mountain massive Velebit).

MARINA MURTER   The island of Murter belongs to the group of northern Dalmatian islands, lying between the cities of Zadar and Šibenik.
How to get to Murter - click here:    The island of Murter belongs to the North Dalmatian group of islands, which contains almost 40 % of all Croatian islands and is the most dense archipelago in both the Adriatic and the Mediterranean.   ( One hour by car from Split)
Murter is located in the northwest of both the Šibenik archipelago, as well as the Šibenik county. Only 6 meters away from land and connected with it by a bascule bridge, the island is very easy to reach, which makes it even more attractive. There are four towns located on the island - the older ones, Murter and Jezera, and the newer ones, Tisno and Betina. Most of the island is covered with age- old olive trees and fig-trees, which are the main traditional crops grown by the natives.
Mean land, which used to be the cause of hard life and poverty, has turned into an attraction - desolate sandy bays have become the most visited beaches, and Kornati have been recognized as one of the most beautiful and best preserved landscapes in the world.
The island of Murter is famous for its sandy and gravel- beaches, such as Slanica, Kosirina, Čigrađa, Podvršak, Lovišća... There is also a large number of small bays hidden from view and far away from the heat of larger beaches.

OPATIJA is a well known tourist resort in Croatia. It is situated on the eastern coast of Istria in Rijeka Bay on the foot of mountain Učka (1.400 m). It was named after a Benedectine abbey (Opatija in Croatian) of St Jacobs. Climatic conditions in Opatija are favorable, with relatively mild winters. In early 19th century Opatija was the winter and health resort of the worldly Central Europe. The hotel "Kvarner" built in 1884 is the first hotel in Croatia and one of the first in Europe. The average temperature (in winter 4,7 in summer 23,3) allows successful growth of camellias, magnolias, palms, bamboos and other subtropics plants in its parks.

USEFUL INFORMATION ABOUT CROATIA

Berth fees in marinas: Fees are charged in Croatian marinas for berths and other services. They are usually fixed and published in the autumn for the following year. This Price List contains separate tables for daily, monthly and annual fees for mooring berths and land storage places. All prices are based on the vessel's length over all (LOA.). Exception is made in case of annual berth prices, where the price is determined by the vessel's width as well. Marinas reserves the right to check the reported dimensions of the vessel. For multi-hull vessels (catamarans and trimarans) the fees may be increased by 50%, depending on availability of free capacities in the chosen marina.

Mooring fees in public harbours: On public piers in harbours under municipal authority, the local authorities have the right to charge mooring fees. The amount of the fee depends on the size of the boat and the length of pier it occupies, which means that yachts mooring alongside the pier will pay more than those mooring stern of bows to. When berthing “in a pack” (several yachts mooring alongside each other), the mooring fee is charged for every yacht. The amount of the fee is determined by the local authority can vary from one harbor to another.

Mooring fees in bays: In some areas, the local authorities charge mooring fees for vessels moored in bays under their authority. In return, garbage is collected and, in some places, groceries delivered. The extent to which fees can be charged without any service being provided will in future be regulated by law. Persons collecting mooring fees must identify themselves by producing a printed receipt.

Buying food: Shopping for food presents no problems along the coast or on the islands. All marinas and harbour have well-supplied supermarkets. However, during prolonged spells of bad weather there can be a shortage of fresh vegetables and bread on small islands which do not have a regular ferry service. Food prices are comparable to those in Europe. Restaurants can be more expensive on small islands.

Fuel:  is easily available both on roads and in harbours. All types of petrol, including unleaded petrol, and diesel are available; however, unleaded petrol pumps and less common on piers. Petrol stations are temporarily closed for safety reasons when they are being supplied with petrol from tankers. During off-season periods, opening hours of petrol stations can be limited to a few, usually morning, hours. During the main season, and especially in the morning hours, the large number of customers may cause queuing and considerable waiting times at petrol stations.

Water and electricity in Croatian harbours and marinas: All Croatian marinas and some harbours have water and electricity hook-ups on the pontoon-piers.  Water: water connections are usually 1 inch in diameter, 3 inch diameter connections are much less common. Because of possible water shortages in the summer months, most Croatian marinas require yachts to use hoses with taps.
Electricity: In Croatia the current is 220 V AC. In marinas and public harbours (as well as camping grounds), three-pin "Euro-plugs" are used. In some marinas (Punat, Kremik) a number of pillars have ‘conventional’ safety sockets.  The power pillars in some marinas are so wide apart (e.g. in Zut, Piskera, Palmizana) that extension leads with insulated connectors (storm, rain) are needed.  The number of power points is sometimes insufficient for all yachts that may need electricity at the same time. Well-insulated extension leads with connection elements should therefore be carried on board every yacht.
