The Experience

Before You Go

Charge Check

Confirm battery level before you leave; Bosch systems are powerful but plan for a reserve if you want side trips away from the main loop.

Follow Park Rules

Bicycles are allowed around the lakes but motor vehicles are not — stick to marked routes to protect sensitive shoreline habitat.

Timing Matters

Start early or late afternoon to avoid ferry crowds and midday heat; light is best for photos and wildlife sightings.

Secure It

Bring a compact bike lock and helmet — locks deter opportunistic thefts at busy piers and helmets are provided but a personal fit is safer.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Climb the low ridge above Pomena for a quiet view over both lakes at sunset
  • Small coastal coves east of the park (reachable by short detours) offer solitude and clear swimming spots

Wildlife

  • Grey heron
  • Dalmatian wall lizard

Conservation Note

Mljet is a protected national park — stick to paths, avoid feeding wildlife, and carry out any trash to reduce impact on its pine forests and freshwater lagoons.

The park includes a 12th-century Benedictine monastery on the islet in Veliko Jezero; the lakes and stone ruins reflect centuries of human presence tied to the sea.

What to Bring

HelmetEssential

Provided by operator but a properly fitting helmet is crucial for safety.

Hydration pack or 1–2 L water bottleEssential

Common Questions

How long is the typical rental and how far will I ride?

Standard rental is two hours and will comfortably cover the main lakes loop (roughly 8–15 km) at a relaxed pace with time for photos and short stops.

Are helmets provided and are the bikes suitable for beginners?

Yes — helmets are included and Bosch-assisted hybrids are beginner-friendly, making short climbs and rolling terrain easy to manage.

Do I need to book ferries or parking in advance?

If you're arriving from the mainland or Dubrovnik, check ferry timetables and book high-season crossings early; parking at ports can fill up on busy days.

Can I ride anywhere in the park?

Bicycles are allowed on designated roads around the lakes; some interior trails are restricted to pedestrians to protect fragile habitats.
