TURANJ (43° 58'N; 15° 25'E), village (pop. 1,062 in 1991) and small harbour on the mainland coast on the narrowest part of Pasmanski kanal.

Approach: Landmarks: the belfry of the church in the village and the long L-shaped breakwater, on whose head is a green tower with a column and gallery (green light). Off the harbour is Minerva shoal (4.5 m) marked by a green tower with a column and gallery (green light) on a concrete base in the sea.

Mooring: The harbour is not sheltered from the sirocco and should be avoided with this wind blowing. Smaller yachts can moor in the harbour or along the outer end of the breakwater.

Facilities: Provisions and water in the village; fuel at the petrol station in Biograd.

Sights: Roman finds (tombs, remains of various buildings), ruins of a fortress (16 C).
