Explore Mljet National Park by E-Bike: Lakes, Roman Palace & Island Monastery
Glide around Mljet’s salt lakes by e‑bike, pausing at a Roman palace, a centuries‑old island monastery and quiet coastal villages. This easy two‑hour loop is the most active, low‑impact way to see the park’s geological and cultural highlights.
The Experience
Before You Go
Helmet Included—Wear It
Helmets are provided with the tour but bring sunglasses and a brimmed hat for stops; a helmet greatly reduces risk on mixed pavement and gravel.
Hydrate Before You Go
Bottled water is included, but start hydrated—sun and salt air can dehydrate riders faster than expected.
Mind Park Rules
Vehicles are restricted around the lakes; stay on permitted routes to protect habitats and avoid fines.
Timing Matters
Start earlier in the day to avoid midday heat and to have quieter photo stops at the islet and palace ruins.
