Mljet

Mljet is the greenest Adriatic island: a national park with two salt lakes in the west, sandy Saplunara in the east and the quiet bays of Polače and Okuklje.

The western third of Mljet is a national park: dense Aleppo pine forest, the lakes Veliko jezero and Malo jezero, which are connected to the sea, and the islet of Sveta Marija with its Benedictine monastery. According to legend, Odysseus spent seven years on Mljet with the nymph Calypso.

In the national park you may anchor and berth only in Polače and Pomena, and the ticket for the boat does not include a visit to the lakes. Polače is a roomy bay protected by four islets, which only bura and easterlies get into. On the north coast outside the park are Sobra, Prožurska Luka and Okuklje, bays with berths in front of the konobas, and on the eastern cape sandy Saplunara.

For boaters

Berths and an anchorage in Polače, the quay in Pomena, konoba berths in Okuklje and Prožurska Luka, Sobra harbour, the Saplunara anchorage.

Anchorages

  • Uvala Polače

    Sheltered from Jugo, Oštro, Lebić, Pulenat, Maestral

    Open to Bura, Levant

    A roomy, well-sheltered bay in Mljet National Park, for which the boat needs a ticket. The mud gives excellent holding in 5 to 14 m west of the village, and the konobas have quays with berths for guests. Bura and easterlies get into the bay: then anchor along the north side, with a stern line ashore.

  • Uvala Okuklje

    Sheltered from Bura, Levant, Jugo, Oštro, Lebić, Pulenat, Maestral

    An almost landlocked bay sheltered on all sides; only a northerly wind brings in a little swell. Most boats lie on the konoba quays with berths for guests, because there is little room to swing. On entering keep to the east side and avoid the shallow, rocky south-western part.

  • Uvala Saplunara

    Sheltered from Bura, Tramontana, Maestral

    Open to Oštro, Lebić

    A sandy bay at the south-eastern tip of Mljet with konoba buoys for guests and room to anchor outside them; it is very shallow towards the beach. It is open to the south: dangerous in a south-westerly wind and uncomfortable in any southerly swell.
