Living boatbuilding heritage in Murter’s prettiest harbour
Betina combines a handsome old village with genuine maritime culture. The museum explains the wooden boats, while historic examples form a floating outdoor collection in the harbour.
Villa Mare
Park at the edge of the village and walk through the lanes to the museum.
Discover the story of Betina’s traditional wooden boats.
Then see the floating open-air collection and stroll along the harbour.
Our local tip
Do not stop at the indoor museum: the boats outside make the craft come alive. Add a short detour to Murter afterwards.
Before you leave
Please check current boat times, admission, weather and seasonal notices. Prices and opening hours can change.

Krapanj lies only a few hundred metres off Brodarica yet feels wonderfully removed. This low island tells stories of sponge diving, maritime craft and quiet everyday life.

This is where you understand the hard work behind Primošten’s stone vineyards. Afterwards, head up to the Loreto monument for a superb panorama, especially late in the day.
