Destination: Murter (island of Murter)
The islet of Prisnjak is only some 300 m from the western coast
of the island of Murter. In 1886, a lighthouse was built on the
islet in order to make it easier for seamen to navigate in the Murter
archipelago.

Prisnjak, lined with stone walls and pine woods,
is the most beautiful islet in the Murter archipelago. There is
one large apartment and a spacious stone terrace in the lighthouse.
It is surrounded by pine trees and is ideal for an active holiday.

Concrete steps make it easy both for children and adults to enter
the water. On the other side of the islet, there are several beaches
that are not suitable for small children. The surrounding waters
are very shallow and warm during the summer, meaning that the average
water temperature is higher than in most other places in Dalmatia.
Therefore, swimming on Prisnjak is possible even in October.

Transfer from Murter is organized by Mr. Severin Kulusic and the
return transfer costs 60 EURO.
Transfer to Prisnjak, unlike to other lighthouses, can be organized
during the whole day. It takes some 25 minutes and you will pass
by several picturesque islets and cliffs.
F & B
Supply of provisions including recently caught fish can be arranged
with Captain Kulusic at extra charge.

As with every lighthouse, Prisnjak also has a story of its own.
In the 1950s, the lighthouse keeper's pregnant wife went into premature
labor. The husband quickly put her into his row-boat and headed
for the town of Murter. Nevertheless, he did not make it in time
and the child was born in the row-boat.
The child was named "Jadran" (Adriatic), while the place
of birth in his birth certificate is Prisnjak - Murter.
A large pine tree in front of the building offers
plenty of shade on hot summer days. Next to the tree is a barbecue
grill where recently caught fish can be prepared.
Staying on Prisnjak is interesting not only in summer, but also
in spring and autumn. Spring is perfect for sports fishing, summer
is the time to enjoy the warm waters and starry nights, while autumn
is famous for fabulous sunsets.
There are many islets in the vicinity, while Kornati National Park
is only 6 NM away.
