Mljet National Park
Nacionalni park Mljet
A green island covered in pine forest. Two connected saltwater lakes surround a 12th-century Benedictine monastery on a small island, and visitors can cycle, row, and swim.
The western part of Mljet Island is a national park. Its core features two saltwater lakes, a large lake and a small lake, both connected to the sea, with warm and clear water. You can cycle or walk along the lake shores, or take a small boat to St. Mary's Island in the large lake to visit a 12th-century Benedictine monastery. You can also swim and kayak along the lakeshore. The entrance ticket includes the boat to St. Mary's Island. From Dubrovnik, catamarans run to Polače or Sobra, taking about 1.5 to 2 hours. In summer you can visit as a day trip, but check the return schedule in advance.
