The island has been inhabited very early, its firs residents being the Illyrian tribes, which can be seen today through the remains of a Illyrian settlements "Colentum" near Betina. Due to its position and the vicinity of National Park Kornati, the island of Murter has been interesting for many sailors who anchor in its bays. Sandy and pebbled beaches among others Slanica and Kosirina are very attractive. The island of Murter is a starting point on the way to National Park Kornati so it is often called the "Gate of Kornati" (Vrata Kornata).
