Sightseeing
As the third-largest city in Dalmatia, Šibenik makes a strongly recommended destination on this spectacular stretch of Adriatic coastline.

Our favourite beaches
beach Plitka Vala
Fantastic beach suitable for families. Lovely cafe.
Just a short walk away - excellent for a quick dip. It is rocky, so reef shoes are recommended.

Ways to save
Supermarket advice.
There is a small supermarket when you step out of the house to the right, for fresh bread and last minute items which is very handy. For a more substantial supermarket head to the TOMY which is between Betina and Murter. They often have lovely pre-cooked meals on offer for beach picnics and excursions. If you have a car head on to the TOMY hypermarket just before Jezera to stock up.
Ways to save
Sanilu laundromat.
Practically next door. Even though we have provided a washer/dryer combo, you may want to totally wind down and have someone else do your laundry!
Getting around
Tourist train Ferata
In the evenings take the tourist train Ferata between Betina and Murter and Murter and Cigrada. Particularly useful if you have small children or have had a few beverages.
