Geography
The town of Murter spans the following areas:
- Hramina cove, where a marina has been built, protected from all winds, making it a safe shelter for yachts.
- Slanica cove, which features a sandy beach, as well as an auto camp and a hotel ("Colentum")
- The old part of the Murter, called "Selo" (the Village), located near the hill Raduč and closer to the island's interior.
Due to Murter residents' growing concentration on the sea, the newer part of Murter was built on the coast of Hramina.
