E‑Bike Rental in Mljet National Park — Ride the Lakes and Coast
Explore Mljet National Park by e‑bike: quiet salt lakes, Benedictine ruins, and coastal lanes made accessible by Bosch‑powered assistance. This guide covers what to expect, local history, and practical tips to plan a day of relaxed exploration.
The Experience
Before You Go
Respect lake‑only rules
Only bikes and foot traffic are permitted around Veliko and Malo Jezero—stay on designated paths to protect fragile shoreline habitats.
Manage battery range
Start with a full charge and choose an assistance level that matches your planned distance; expect 50–100 km range depending on settings and terrain.
Pack hydration and sun protection
Coastal stretches have little shade—carry 1–2 liters of water and sunscreen even for short rides.
Coordinate ferry times
Plan your rental around ferry schedules to and from Mljet (Sobra is the main port) so you have sufficient riding time and battery margin.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •St. Mary’s islet and the small Benedictine church—quiet morning visits avoid the largest tour groups
- •The lesser‑visited Saplunara beaches on the island’s southeast coast for sandy coves and calmer water
Wildlife
- •Herons
- •Cormorants
Conservation Note
As a national park, Mljet enforces limits on motor vehicles around the lakes and encourages low‑impact travel—pack out waste and stick to marked routes to protect karst and coastal ecosystems.
Mljet’s lakes and the Benedictine monastery on St. Mary’s islet date to medieval monastic use; local lore also links the island to Homeric tales of Odysseus.
