Sveti Juraj (Saint George) is the largest island in the archipelago of Vrsar. It forms a natural shelter for the quayside of Vrsar and the modern marina. On its eastern side, below the Church of St George, there is a suitable small anchorage which allows disembarking onto the island. Throughout history, it was kept by the brotherhood of St George.
