Where to take the ferry from Split to Mljet

Ferries to Mljet usually set sail from the port of Split, which is the largest and busiest passenger harbor in Croatia. The ferry port is located right in the heart of the city, within walking distance from the historic center and Diocletian's Palace, and about 24 km from Split Airport.

On-site facilities are plentiful and include multiple ferry company ticket offices, luggage storage services, ATMs, cafes, fast-food outlets, and small convenience shops.

How to get to the port of Split

• On foot: the walk from the Old Town takes less than 10 min along a flat, pedestrian-friendly waterfront path.
• By bus from the airport: the official airport shuttle bus, operated by Pleso Prijevoz, takes 30-45 min to reach the main Split bus station, located right next to the ferry terminal. Alternatively, local bus Line 37 connects the airport to the city center, but it drops you off further out at the Sukoišan terminal, requiring a short taxi ride or a 20-min walk to the docks.
• By train or intercity bus: Split’s central railway station and the main long-distance bus terminal are 2 to 5-min walk from the ferry passenger piers.
• By taxi or rideshare: taxis and rideshare services operate throughout the city and from the airport. A taxi ride from the airport directly to the pier takes about 30 min..

Where does the ferry arrive in Mljet?

Ferries from Split typically dock at the port of Pomena, on the scenic western tip of Mljet. Near the port, you will find seafood restaurants, small grocery markets, bicycle and scooter rental agencies, and a handful of hotels.
