Mljet — saltwater lakes at the west end of the island
Wooded slopes and two sheltered expanses of water give western Mljet a distinct landscape. The lakes are a useful starting point for reading how the park meets the Adriatic.

Mljet National Park protects the western part of the Croatian island of Mljet. Croatia’s parks service describes two saltwater lakes, Veliko jezero and Malo jezero, and the connection of the larger lake to the sea. The park operator identifies Pomena, Polače and Vrbovica as entrances.

Croatia’s parks service describes the connection between the larger lake and the sea. The view in the photograph sets the lakes within a wooded landscape with open water beyond. From a designated shore path, look for the way the shape of the banks changes the view. A close view of a quiet inlet and the longer view towards the sea tell different parts of the same story.
Aanbeveling
Choose an official entrance and check the park’s current tickets, access arrangements and island transport. The park advises contacting it in advance for visits outside the main season. Use the operator’s map to choose a route around the lakes.
