Karantanovi Dvori

Twenty steps from Murter's harbour promenade, Karantanovi Dvori occupies a stone house on Ulica Hrvatskih Vladara in the old town core, a short walk from the bridge connecting the island to the mainland. Kornati archipelago boat excursions depart from the nearby quay each morning.

Rooms keep exposed stone walls and timber beams typical of the island's older houses, with kitchenettes suited to longer stays. Konoba-style restaurants line the surrounding lanes, serving Adriatic seafood a few minutes on foot.

The setting suits travellers using Murter as a base for Kornati sailing rather than beach lounging.
