Jezera suits couples and small families wanting a sheltered harbour village on Murter island, with air-conditioned homes for two to four. Murter is reached over a draw-bridge at Tisno. Few homes have a private pool, and the village gets much busier in summer.
Jezera is the smallest settlement on Murter, set around a sheltered bay on the island's south-east coast. Its natural harbour is protected from the jugo and bora winds. The homes sit in one tight cluster in the village, and they are mostly small, for two to four people, with air conditioning but rarely a pool. Murter village, the island's largest settlement, has hotels, marinas, beaches and restaurants, and Betina, close to it, is known for nearly a hundred small family-run shipyards. The island has both sandy and rocky beaches. Jezera's population rises sharply in summer, so expect it to be much quieter outside the season.

Summer is when Jezera is busy, with its population rising sharply and Murter village's roughly quadrupling in peak season. The bridge at Tisno opens for boats on a timetable that differs between summer and winter: twice a day from mid-May to mid-September, and three mornings a week in winter, so drivers may face a short wait.
