Administratively it belongs to the municipality Tisno and with almost 1,000 inhabitants, after Tisno, is the second-largest settlement in the municipality. Jezera is 28 km northwest of Šibenik and arrival is very easy because the island Murter is connected to the mainland by a drawbridge. Located in the southeast part of the island of Murter in the bay naturally protected from strong winds, Jezera is settled all the way to bay Lovišća, which houses a tourist destination Jezera-Lovišća. Murter is by population the largest and most densely populated island of the Šibenik archipelago.
