Nautical Paradise: Murter – Lojena – Žut – Vrgada Route (Restaurant La Spuž)

Looking for the perfect one-day boat getaway? This route takes you through the heart of the Kornati archipelago, from hidden turquoise coves to authentic "Robinson" flavors that will be remembered for a long time.

1. Departure: Murter, the gateway to the Kornati Islands

Your adventure begins on the island of Murter, the perfect starting point for exploring the central Adriatic. Sailing westward, you will quickly enter the labyrinth of islets that form the introduction to the National Park

2. First stop: Lojena Bay (Island of Levrnaka)

After a short sail, you will reach Lojena Bay, the only real sand and pebble beach in the Kornati Islands. Its turquoise sea and white sand are reminiscent of the Caribbean.

Tip: The climb up the nearby hill takes only 5-10 minutes and offers a spectacular view of the crown of the Kornati Islands.

3. Hidden gem: Žut Island

We continue towards Žut Island, located just outside the National Park's borders. Žut is an island with no permanent inhabitants, covered with olive groves and fig trees. Quiet coves like Hiljača or Bizikovica are ideal for a short break or anchoring at ACI Marina Žut. Or treat your taste buds to the delicacies of the Fešta restaurant.

4. Return and lunch: Vrgada and La Spuž Restaurant

On the way back to Murter, a stop on the island of Vrgada is a must. However, the real gastronomic highlight of the day awaits you on the mainland opposite Vrgada (in the Modrava/Drage area) – the iconic La Spuž Restaurant.

La Spuž Restaurant is known for:

Robinson-style ambiance: Decorated in a rustic style, without electricity (they use solar panels), right by the sea.

Daily catch: There is no classic menu; you eat what the fishermen caught that day directly from the sea onto your plate.

Atmosphere: Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and the smell of barbecue make it a favorite destination for boaters.

Conclusion

This route offers the perfect balance of the wild nature of the Kornati Islands and the relaxed Dalmatian "fjak" lifestyle. Book your boat at Mareboat.com and experience the Adriatic in the best possible way..
