Pomena · closest to the National Park entrance area
Best when your main goal is Mljet National Park and the seasonal Dubrovnik service operates on your date.
See Pomena ferryPolače · west-Mljet / National Park side
Another seasonal west-side arrival that can reduce onward travel if you are staying around Polače or visiting the park.
See Polače ferrySobra · main year-round gateway
