Tucked away in the Adriatic, Mljet quietly stands out as one of Croatia’s most serene islands. Nearly a third of it is safeguarded within Mljet National Park, one of Croatia's must-see parks: a verdant stretch of pine forests, meandering trails, and saltwater lakes that seem almost otherworldly in their stillness.

At the heart of the park are Veliko Jezero and Malo Jezero, two lakes that invite you to paddle, take a refreshing dip, or ferry over to the tiny islet of St. Mary, home to a Benedictine monastery that has stood since the 12th century.

Outside the park, Mljet retains its old-world charm through picture-perfect villages like Pomena, Polače, and Sobra. These waterfront settlements, with their stone houses and low-key harbors, offer cozy restaurants dishing up freshly caught seafood and carafes of local wine. There’s a simplicity here that’s hard to find elsewhere.

If you are looking for a destination devoid of flashy resorts or hurried crowds, but filled with the slow rhythm of Dalmatian life, Mljet is undoubtedly not only one of the top Croatian islands but one of the Mediterranean’s best-kept secrets.

Here are some tips for a pleasant trip to Mljet:

• Arrive at your departure port at least 45 minutes before departure, especially during the summer or on weekends when ports in Croatia tend to be busier.
• Ferries operating routes to and from Mljet are mostly catamarans and do not allow vehicle transportation. If you’d like to explore the island in depth, bicycle, car, and scooter rentals are available in towns like Pomena and Polače, as well as in the vicinity of the National Park. Mljet also offers a reliable bus service.
