Jezero Zmajevo oko jedinstveni je geohidromorfološki fenomen na istočnoj obali Jadrana koji je zbog svojih posebnih fizikalnih i kemijskih svojstava razvio prepoznatljivu floru i faunu. Smješteno je na poluotoku Gradina, uskom dijelu zemlje koji dijeli zaljeve Soline i Koprišće. Jezero je okruženo strmim liticama čija je prosječna visina između četiri i dvadeset i četiri metra. Površina mu je približno 10.000 četvornih metara, a najveća izmjerena dubina je petnaest metara. Jezero nema vidljive površinske veze s okolnim morem, ali jezero i morska voda prodiru kroz pukotine i kanale u poroznom vapnencu. Zbog jedinstvenog okoliša Zmajevo jezero, s njegovim debelim donjim slojem sumporovodika, mnogi su ga domaći i strani znanstvenici proučavali posljednjih godina, često uspoređujući jezero s Crnim morem, fjordom Framvaren u Norveškoj ili kraterskim jezerom Pavin u Francuskoj.Tijekom stoljeća događalo se da jezero "proključa" ili, kako znanstvenici kažu, dolazi do prevrtanja vodenog stupca. Ovaj neobični prirodni fenomen nadahnuo je mještane da izmišljaju različite legende. Jedna popularna legenda govori o zmaju koji je zivio u jezeru. On je bio nemilosrdan - svake je godine naplaćivao krvavi honorar najljepšom djevojkom i najdebljim ovcama. Druga priča govori o zmaju Murinu, izvanbračnom sinu Here i Posejdona, koju možete saznati kad odete u posjet jezeru. Prema ovoj legendi o zmaju Murinu, ako se dvoje zaljubljenih kupaju u Zmajevom oku, bit će vjerni jedni drugima do kraja života, a njihov će brak biti blagoslovljen vječnom ljubavlju i zdravom djecom.

After learning about the legend of Dragon Murin, my fiance and i bathed at the Dragon face so that our relationship would last. The flora and fauna at the lake are incredibly beautiful. It was nice visiting this place.

As a lover of geographical features, i was delighted to visit the lake and witness it producing hot boiling water. The surrounding of the lake is very green which makes it stunning. The trip was adventurous.

During the summer holidays I wanted to have a taste and experience of the cool waters and this place was the answer. My friends and i went for jet skiing and also boating after we had acquired our boating license from the local authority. We had fantastic moments

My fiancee brought me here because of the myth about lovers who swam in this lake will never have a broken marriage. We swam here to cement our love and hoped that it was all true. It was an amazing experience.

Unique nature that the lake has with special flora and fauna that are present. The lake has an amazing history that is interesting and the tour around showed us some of the phenomenon that occur at the place. We were amazed by our trip at the lake and would love to visit again.
