Mljet National Park – Lakes, tickets & vessel fees
42° 46.5′ N · 17° 21.4′ E
The western third of Mljet has been a national park since 1960. Its heart is two saltwater lakes, Veliko and Malo jezero, joined to the sea by a narrow channel and ringed by pine forest. Boats in Polače, Pomena and the park waters need a park vessel ticket, and everyone who goes ashore to the lakes needs a visitor ticket.
