Getting There and Around

These days regular and express ferries provide services to and from the mainland; Dubrovnik – Sobra (daily connections from Dubrovnik and Pelješac).Two ferry types are available to/from Dubrovnik, a car ferry and a catamaran.  Transportation to the island is mostly provided by Jadrolinija ferries. Adding to that is the extra twice weekly ferry service from Rijeka – Dubrovnik – Bari.
Mljet is only 8km away from the peninsula of Pelješac, 18km from Korčula and 30km from Dubrovnik. There are a number of harbour ports in Mljet. Polače is its largest and main port of call in the north. Other harbours include Okuklje, Luka Prožura, Sobra, Kozarica and Pomena which has daily connections to Dubrovnik (watch out for reefs and shallow water), and Lokve or Gonoturska port where you can throw anchor just before the entry canal toward the Big Lake.
