picturesque village established by shepherd men
picek Says: A picturesque little village of Goveđari rises on a slopes upon a fertile field in National Park - it is the first settlement that had been allowed to be built in Western Mljet by Benedictines and its history only begins in 18th century. It was a period of time when...
picek Says: One way or other you'll eventually notice the Small bridge which is between Big and Small lake, upon a channel that delivers water in and out of the small lake. It is made of stone and there's public beach next to it with some kiosks, too... I have a feeling this is little...
picek Says: Many people begin their explore of Mljet in village Polace, a place which has long and turbulent history. There are a small port here in the waters of the gulf, sheltered behind tiny islands, dozens of restaurants, a few souvenir shops and appartments to rent from villagers;...
picek Says: Why market feel? Because main street is like many Croatian coastal towns where one part of the place sells 'usual' merchandise for tourists - t shirts, souvenirs, towels, swimming suits and shoes, postcards and more sophisticated stuff (locally produced soaps and oils nicely...
picek Says: Ha ha! They are so lovely designed - the cars, ancient little Fiats! Some colored crazy, cool design, some cabriolet type... and one dressed in fur, like sexy cat. With nose, eyelasheses and make up and all that.Certainly you'll draw attention when you drive with them... we...
picek Says: The church of St. Mary is inseparable entity with the monastery and shares the history – the two cannot be divided from each other as they stem from the same source, the Benedictine order. Built together with monastery in 12. century in Romanesque style, yet the form...
Benedictine monastery of St. Mary
picek Says: The history of Benedictines on Mljet begins when they got donated the entire island in 1151 by knez (kind of 'duke') Desa. These Benedictines settling now in Mljet were originally from Pulsano in Italy, from abbey of St. Mary – and on island they were to build the sacral...
Konoba Matana in Pomena: why not some pasta after long time?
picek Says: There are few restaurants in Pomena but if you go before noon not all are serving lunch or breakfast yet and others remain closed before 12.The one I speak off now was in beginning of Pomena and displayed menu by the road, promised organic food and it was open - I browsed...
Konoba Pikala in Soline: traditional salted sardines
picek Says: We got hungry when we ended in Soline after many hours spent in shadow - and water of course - of the big lake and walking slowly though wonderful forest. It was time to sit down and Soline is very quiet village with a few houses, with very a few small and family run...
to get to Mljet NP from mainland
picek Says: 1. If you drive a car it is the easiest way to get to Mljet and National Park from mainland:take ferry from Peljesac (Prapratno is the name of place where you'll embark). You'll disembark in Sobra, a village in middle Mljet. From there is some 25 km to Polace where you can...
getting to and around the park
7_seconds Says: The ticket you purchase includes two bus rides to the national park and one ride with a small boat driving you to and from little monastery inside the national park.There are a lot of stands selling the tickets for the Park all around the island so you shouldn't have...
lots of messages on the papers
picek Says: It's a little behind the monastery on St. Mary island, a few minutes walk by the evergreens shaded path and you will reach tiny chapel dedicated to St. Benedikt and his sister Skolastika built in 14th centuy. S simple building it is, all of stone and next to ancient...
picek Says: Okay, not really a danger to be honest, just a warning about jellyfishes: they are few kinds in the lakes, some as large as half meter and endemic (Aurellia). Aurellia is 26 mio yers old species and discovered recently! Amazing. You can see how they look...
picek Says: There is a small cave off the path from Pristaniste to Soline (and its close to Soline), the sign saying Spilja (which means cave in Croatian) will point you into right direction. It's a few minutes walk on a unpaved path, under trees and among bushes - and they you will...
picek Says: One cemetery in National park we did visited at least - it was near parking place in Pristaniste, hidden behind the bushes and trees, only a small sign pointed us in right direction.A modest chapel of stone there was - it looked of no significant importance and beside its...
excellent views above... from V. Gradac
picek Says: Taking a walk to the hills above the lakes is something special: for your eyes many views over the landscape will open, every time from a little different perspective as you keep ascending, sights most breath taking. For a little extra try you're rewarded with the pictures...
and also excellent for cycling
picek Says: Another next thing you will absolutely enjoy doing is cycling - and since you're not allowed to enter lake areas by car or motorbike unless you're guest somewhere within its vicinity, it is great way to cover the distances. If you like doing it faster than walking, of...
picek Says: Yes - Mljet National park is to do quiet water sports: swimming, snorkeling, kayaking and canoeing. You will be able to rent boats by the entry to NP by parking place or your guesthouse staff will be able to help you with it.In the lakes area you're only alowed to do these...
you've got a ticket to ride...
picek Says: It's 90 KN for entry ticket/adult to National park and you can enter as many times as you wish once you bought it. You can purchase it from a few different locations (Polace, Pomena, and by parking in Pristaniste) and keep it with you for your entire stay.Price (also)...
Enzyme_X Says: After some time the monk noticed that water level gets sometimes higer due to a higher tide and that it could flood the monastery. So a smart guy among the monks calculated that if they dig another channel on the other side of the lake the water will flow into another lake....
