Mljet is the most south-easterly of the larger Adriatic islands of the Dalmatia region of Croatia, lying 14 nautical miles southeast of the town of Korcula. The biggest settlement on Mljet and the seat of Commune is the village of Babino Polje. The main ports of the island are Sobra and Polace.
The Lakes of Mljet: the Large One and the Small One are at the northwest end of the island. They are salt water lakes and the two are joined through a shallow channel, and Veliko jezero (Big Lake) has connection with the open sea through the Soline Canal. The small islet of Melita with the earlier Benedictine monastery building and a superb neo-classic church lies in the middle of Veliko jezero. These wonderful lakes form part of The Mljet National Park. The unique harmony of an interesting terrain, rich flora and fauna, and important cultural monuments make this national park one of the most popular to visit in Croatia.
