Tisno: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

The historic centre of Tisno lies on the island side below Brošćica Hill. It preserves rural buildings made of irregular stone, characteristic galleries, sections of the original stone paving, 18th-century town houses and the Katunarić Palace. Tisno’s built character also includes Dalmatian stone houses, narrow lanes, broad squares, a long waterfront promenade and restaurants offering predominantly traditional cuisine. The Tišnjanski Bridge connects Murter Island with the mainland.

Culture and Townscape

Several religious buildings complement the townscape. The parish church of the Holy Spirit was built in 1548 and restored in the Baroque style in 1640. The Church of Saint Andrew was built in 1606 on the hill of the same name south of Tisno’s island-side settlement. The Church of Saint Roch stands by the water in the part of Tisno called Rat.

On Brošćica Hill above Tisno, the Gospe od Karavaja shrine includes a chapel built around 1720. The Gospe od Karavaja festival is celebrated in Tisno every year on 26 May; pilgrims from the surrounding counties and farther afield take part. The Tišnjanske Palače preserve 11 villas.

Nature and Trails

The Tisno–Jezera educational nature trail is designed as a lit promenade with themed rest areas presenting the flora and fauna of Murter Island. The Tisno–Jezera ecological educational trail runs between Tisno and Jezera and is promoted as a way to learn about the local flora and fauna.

Three designated cycling routes lead through Tisno. Coastal paths can be used to cycle around Murter Island and return to the starting point.

Water and Maritime Activities

The maritime educational trail supports both freediving and scuba diving. Organised diving centres in Tisno cater to beginners and experienced divers alike. The maritime educational trail in the Bay of Saint Andrew along the Tisno–Jezera promenade features seven information panels with explanations.

Igre na korentu is a water sports spectacle in the strait beside Tisno’s movable bridge.
