- Mljet - Mljet -
Who knows you for visiting Dalmatian islands Kvarner or
Kornati is no doubt shocked when it reaches the large islands
south of Split.
Here the landscape, climate, vegetation changes dramatically, and in the Mediterranean
northern Adriatic is characterized by holm oaks and olive trees
plus a growing presence, as it is pushed to
south of palms, citrus and Aleppo pines that give the environment a
similar to the Aegean islands.
Mljet in particular, completely covered by a thick pine forest
assume, for those approaching from the sea, the appearance of a large emerald
drop resting on a cobalt blue carpet. From the first landing
N we find is the port of Pomena
in the northwestern part of the island.
Pomena - 42 ° 47 'N, 17 ° 23' E - located in a large bay whose entrance is blocked by some rocks
(see chart). Upon entering, on your right there is a long dock in front of the Hotel
Atlas moor where hydrofoils and boats
of hikers per day for which there are only one or two places for
yachts (better ask permission to be giving up the
peaks). On the Left there are a couple of restaurants fitted with a small pier and
dead bodies. I stopped at the restaurant "Galjicia" where, under a veranda overlooking the mooring
I could enjoy swinging (truffles
sea) raw and seabream grilled at a price more than acceptable. In front of the restaurants there is
Pomestac the islet, which protects from the wind near the N-
which you can anchor.
Pomena is usually frequented by tourists and boaters because it is the best way to get the
Jezero - Lake In the reality it is a large bay
a couple of miles long, communicating with the sea through a narrow channel deep
1, 5 m and ten yards wide, surrounded by the forest of Aleppo pines
. An isthmus throats in part by dividing the terminal
Malic Jezero (Small Lake) from Sailing
Jezero (big lake). In the middle of the lake's largest island,
reached by the boats, with its ancient monastery of Santa Maria for a few years
into a hotel and now abandoned. the lake area,
forbidden to sail, and the hills overlooking the National Park are in the summer
you pay an entrance fee (if you pass the main path, but
If you drive through the woods ....... ) that includes the ticket
boat to the island. There are many trails around the lake on
that climb the surrounding hills, beautiful one that leads to Mount Kuc, from where
clear day, you can sweep the horizon to the island of Korcula and Lastovo
, and observe a lot of birds and animals
among which stands out the mongoose. This small mustelid like a weasel (I
I saw him twice) was placed on the island to eradicate the many
these vipers (which incidentally we are still
, I've encountered) and have grown to the point of
represent a threat to wild birds and pens so that you are 'thinking of introducing
do not know what animal sworn enemy of the mongoose
(sounds like a fable of Aesop).
Continuing along the north coast, we meet a number of deserted coves
very beautiful but open to N and therefore unsuitable unsuitable
to a prolonged stay or night (in those parts there is the saying "All twenty
end in Bora). After about 4 miles we meet the entry of large bay
Polace.
POLACO - PORTO PALACE - 42 ° 47 'N, 17 ° 23' E - Deep Creek
more than two miles long formed by a series of islands separated by narrow channels
, which parallels the coast Miljet forming almost a fjord.
takes its name from the ruins of a fort at the bottom of the bay, opposite the
which is a very sheltered deep harbor more than 5-6 m.
in which we can anchor the wheel or take down a couple of ropes to be tied to trees
other side of the village. In front of the castle there are some
buoys in front of a dock which you can moor in four
instead of the bow (there are only 2 m below the pier). Finally, there is a
small pier in front of the restaurant "NICOLA Palacium"
with a number of dead bodies (be careful because as you pull up one's
attached to the lobster pot lobster) made by the owner of the premises (you cook
grilled lobster phenomenal). Along the road that runs along the bay
, you will find a small grocery store, the bread oven
(in the morning irresistible aroma spreads throughout the bay), the Zoran
fisherman's house, an old man a bit 'cranky that you can sell (if you
agreeable) of freshly caught fish, the restaurant "OJIGIA" which has
a small pier with a few dead bodies and has the best tank
lobsters and lobsters in the area (you can cook them to you in the room or purchased live
to the galley - were paid about £ 60,000 Kg X
in September 2000). A little 'beyond the restaurant "BOURBON" with a dock (with regulatory
tank for lobster) with 3-4 dead bodies and electricity provided free of charge to
ospiti.Oltre excellent fish and shellfish to the oven or
I enjoyed the grilled gnocchi with wild boar and pork chops the same
that abounds on the island, back from an unfortunate encounter with a shotgun
the master. The bay as a whole offers a multitude of possibilities
to stop, even prolonged, and providing inter alia
a good starting point for excursions to the lake, about 2 km away, and for the driveway
(we pass a car every two hours), which for a little signal path (I have discovered
after 2-3 stops) that begins behind the ruins of the castle and
through some Roman ruins.
Continuing along the north coast you will find the marina
SOBER-42 ° 45 'N, 17 ° 37' E-Connecting the main island, the bay of PROZURA

Okuklje too close to that if you could do a ranking of the most beautiful Dalmatian

Okuklje - PORTO CAMARA - 42 ° 44 'N, 17 ° 41' E - Coming from the sea

there are a number of moles obtained from rocks cemented in some way and
with dead bodies. Care must be taken and, if the boat dock
line is not occupied by other boaters and is not Tuesday (Wednesday at 6:00 am
the ferry arrives and we should not be in half
) ormeggiarvisi agrees to be free to dine by boat or local

restaurant run by a Swiss-German-Croatian, from which I'll never go
after that on one occasion after refusing her mooring and talked to a fisherman who sells lobsters

Peter's old fisherman who sells fish and seafood, followed by

If we reach the outermost edge of the side of the island that looks

Saplunara except that of the extreme SW, with a beautiful beach
ideal for a beach day but not suited to a
overnight stay as open to SW. At the north western
Soline we find the bay where there is the mouth of the Lake (
forbidden to navigation), and nearby, Lastorska Bay, an inlet
round, 3-4 m deep at its center but with a bar of pebbles and stones
