The west half of Mljet Island was designated a national park in 1960, and the lakes and trails are popular among bicyclists, hikers, and visitors who simply want to relax in the serenity of the woods, the scent of pine crisp and clean in the balmy air. The two saltwater lakes attract swimmers and paddlers. The small fishing village of Pomena (50 year-round residents) is located at the far west end of the island in a bay of the same name, about a ten-minute walk from the lakes within Mljet National Park. Within Pomena Bay is the Islet of Pomestak, a splendid anchorage away from the bustle at the piers. Islet of Pomestak sailing ushers you into the natural beauty of Mljet National Park and the quiet ambience of Pomena.

Mljet National Park is a top destination in Croatia. The beauty is breathtaking around the two saltwater lakes of Malo Jezero and Veliko Jezero, which open to the sea through a miniscule channel. An islet in the middle of Veliko Jezero is home to a Benedictine Monastery from the 12th century, and a little restaurant that caters to tourists. Sightseeing boats run regularly to the islet, which makes for a fun way to pass a couple of hours in an idyllic setting. You can bring a picnic lunch or enjoy a meal in the monastery restaurant. Bicycle rentals are available in Pomena and are a good way to explore the west end of Mljet Island. There is a hotel in Pomena, but little else except for the several restaurants.
Dockage is sometimes available at the pier in front of the hotel at Pomena. No other facilities for yachts are available.
