Mljet

      The highlight and most unusual feature of Mljet are the two inland salt water lakes--Malo Jezero and Veliko Jezero--connected to the sea by a narrow canal. In the middle of Veliko Jezero is a former Benedictine monastery dating from the 12th century. It's now a restaurant, accessible by regularly scheduled small boats.

      The largest settlements are Pomena and Polace (pronounced Po-latch-e) which have most of the accommodation and restaurants.

     The admission price for the national park is 90/30HRK adult/ kids and includes the boat trip to the monastery on the lake.

Travel to Mljet

      The main port is Sobra on the island's eastern end which is connected by ferry to Dubrovnik and Korcula on Jadrolinija's coastal line but only in summer. Otherwise, there's a daily car ferry from Dubrovnik to Sobra. From Sobra, buses take you to Pomena and Polace.
     There's also a passenger boat, the Nona Ana,between Dubrovnik and Polace that leaves in the morning and returns in the afternoon. It runs daily in summer and Wednesday, Friday and Sunday in the off season. During the summer, there's now a new connection to Korcula Island a few days a week. See the Nona Ana schedule.
     Even easier is to take an organised day trip to Mljet Island!

Accommodation in Mljet

There's only one hotel on the island, the Hotel Odisej in Pomena, but a fair amount of private accommodation mostly in Pomena and Polace. Find out more about private accommodation in Mljet.
