The park is beautiful. The lake is great and you can swim anywhere. We rented a bike and paid the entrance fee, 150 hrk. NO NEED to pay!!! Nobody checks your ticket anyways.

I would have to concur with other reviewers. It’s a lovely place but if you get the 10am boat from the mainland and the 7:30pm back, by the time you’ve driven up to the lakes (40mins) and maybe had some lunch there’s not actually a heap of time, given you want to be back to the boat a bit before it takes off to secure your spot.

We walked to the lakes from Polace. It was a nice walk through the forest with some shadow.
Once at the lake, it is easy to find a quiet place to swim with no people.
We took the ferry from Pristanitse, but it is also possible to take it from Mali Most, close to Pomena. The ferry leaves towards the island about every half an hour.
There is a toilet and turist information in Pristanitse, but we were surprised to find nowhere to eat. We found a nice place about 15 min walk towards Mali most.
Remember to bring lots of water and snacks, as there are few places to eat in the park.

Amazing amazing and amazing! Great for hikers, bikers or swimmers. You can swim in both Small and Big Lake. You must go into Big Lake and let the natural stream float you into Small Lake. Bring swim shoes since it is rocky.

Great hiking and swimming experience for day trip(s). The entrance fee includes boat tickets that can take you to an island with roman and medieval remaining.

We were told to cycle around this park but as there are steps we walked and felt like we seen so much more.
Beautiful cafe bars to stop at in fishing villages.
Took us 3,5 hrs to walk slowly
There are different routes you can take

This is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Sadly, there is a very large group of highly abusive locals who feel they own the island and have the right to become drunk and abusive towards tourists. The park workers will do nothing; this is my personal and lived experience. If you ask for help they ignore you. There are, of course, also good people, but on a small island, a large number of bad people who hate tourists is a big problem and the park does absolutely nothing. It is a very unsafe place for women alone and I recommend that you remain on the mainland where you are always able to make a physical escape. The islands have changed and while you might get lucky, you might not. Not currently safe for women.

Ideal destination for people who enjoy pristine natural beauty and the physical activities Like boating bike riding and swimming..
At the North od the Mljet Island lice two beautiful salt lakes. According the bike rental agent, iz takes 2 hours to encircle both lakes..
cycling with the family is a fun way to explore the island. I recommend you go to the Benedictine monastery!
can't wait to explore the rest of the national park!

We stayed at Hotel Odisej, it’s clean comfortable and the staff couldn’t do enough to help. The hotel its self is dated but the service more than made up for that. Would recommend the upgrade room so that you get to enjoy the beautiful views from the comfort of prÃvate balcony.

Kan ik vanuit de haven sobra met een normale fiets het eiland bekijken. Of moet je altijd de auto meenemen. Wie heeft hier ervaring mee?

the island is short (like 50 km coast to coast) but I should use the bike only in the national park where is easy and safe to drive. the island is full of roads with very steep slopes from 9 to 12%! in the evening there are not lights and this summer I saw very few people on bike.

Ciao!
Il biglietto d’ingresso si può pagare con carta di credito?
Ho anche letto che il biglietto vale una settimana ma non son sicura di aver capito bene: posso entrare quindi più volte?

ciao si credo si possa pagare anche con la carta (a pomena ci sono due posti dove poter pagare).
Si il biglietto, se lo specifichi, possono fartelo della durata di una settimana e quindi puoi entrare quante volte vuoi.Allo stesso prezzo! calcola che non ci sono dei veri e proprio tornelli ma una sorta di capanna con delle persone fuori che sommariamente controllano. conviene farlo comunque per evitare figuracce :-) il posto merita!

Hi, we are planning on going to Mljet. The ferry leaves at 8pm, as it´s on a Thursday. We are planing on being there at 7pm. My question is what is the best option to get to the port? we have a car, is it better to drive there and there park somewhere nearby? or take a bus. Pricewise.
Thanks,
Carmen

So sorry, they did not notify me of your question. However, I am no help anyway -- from where to which port?
Hi. Does anyone know what if any excursions TUI offer while on Mljet? Their automated emails keep prompting me to book some, but once I choose my hotel none are offered. I'm thinking not many due to the island nature, but something would be nice. If they aren't running much what would people recommend? I think a day in Dubrovnik might be nice. Get a morning ferry out, 3 or 4 hours in the city and then an afternoon ferry back. Is it that easy enough or is there anything to look out for?
Hi, I'm out here at the moment. Tui offer a few trips around the island however the rep said it's just as easy just to cycle or get a taxi.
The ferry to Dubrovnik leaves everyday at 10:45 (buy the tickets from reception) and gives you 4 hours there before you head back (we found it more than enough)
You'll want to do the sunbed claim at about 7:00 to make sure you get one for the day.
Breakfast is ok, dinner at hotel odesej is canteen like but there are loads of great restaurants around the harbour if you fancy a change
