Introduction to Tisno

Tisno is like a big city on a small scale. It is an urban centre with lovely stone houses, churches, historical and cultural sites, beaches round every corner, taverns, pizzerias, restaurants and bakeries. It has its own style and way of life supported by cultural institutions and social events throughout the year. Coffee shops are regular places for socialising, each of which has its own unique coffees, waiters, stories and clientele. Everything you need is within reach, and you don’t need to stray too far from town to experience all the charms of the summer atmosphere for which people flock to the Adriatic.
Tisno is a lively thoroughfare, where you can taste all the little pleasures of life. Everything is so close that with each trip you can go back in time, whether you are going for lunch, dinner or back home to sleep wherever you are staying.
Dalmatians choose their names very carefully - and the location of Tisno on the island of Murter, and the way it almost touches the mainland from which it is barely separated by a channel that is narrow, or tisno, is the main reason for its name. The name of the place existed long before the village flourished there.
