Tasty Desserts and Sweets

Satisfy your sweet tooth with traditional Murter fried dough pastries – fritule and kroštule – or taste and buy sweets made with figs, a renowned fruit also known as the “queen of the Mediterranean”! Indulge in fig rakija, jams, and many other products whose recipes are passed from one generation to the other.

The island of Murter is known for being covered with olive trees, but a large part of the island boasts hundred-year-old fig trees growing this heavenly fruit of the Mediterranean. Fig trees in the very centre of Murter town are overflowing with these sweet fruits which can be eaten fresh or dried. Figs are also used for making various jams, pastries, cakes, pies and other desserts.
