If you’re staying in Pirovac, you’re in a great spot to explore some of Croatia’s most beautiful islands. Two of the easiest and most rewarding day trips are Murter Island and the Kornati Islands.
Whether you want to swim, explore small towns, or take in the quiet beauty of the coast, both places are easy to reach and full of things to do.
A Quick Trip to Murter Island
Murter is one of the easiest islands to get to in Croatia. It’s connected to the mainland by a short bridge in Tisno, just 15 minutes from Pirovac by car.
What you’ll find on Murter:
- Beaches like Slanica and Podvrske with clear water and plenty of space to relax
- The village of Betina, known for its wooden boats and peaceful vibe
- Great local food in small restaurants
- Easy walking trails along the coast
How to get there:
Drive, bike, or take a taxi from Pirovac to Tisno, then cross the bridge. You’ll be on the island in no time.
Explore the Kornati Islands by Boat
The Kornati Islands are a national park made up of more than 80 small islands. They’re quiet, rugged, and only reachable by boat. Many people say it’s the most peaceful part of the Adriatic.
What to expect:
- Crystal-clear water
- Hidden coves and quiet swimming spots
- A landscape that feels wild and untouched
- Some of the best boat tour scenery in Croatia
How to go:
You can join a group boat tour or rent a private boat. Tours often leave from Murter, Vodice, or sometimes directly from Pirovac. Most full-day trips include lunch, swimming stops, and a cruise through the islands.
Tip: Try to book a boat tour at least a day or two in advance, especially in July and August.
What to Bring
- Swimsuit, towel, and sunscreen
- Hat and sunglasses
- Water shoes if you’re visiting rocky beaches
- Snacks and water (some tours include lunch, some don’t)
- Some cash for food or entry fees
