Mljet (Pomena)

Morning starts with mystical mist over Pomena Bay under a gentle drizzle. At noon, the monastery on St. Mary's Island provides the perfect shelter from the rain. In the afternoon, we walk along the shores of Malo jezero, protected by the dense pine canopy. Evening is spent enjoying the soothing atmosphere of the rain-kissed docks in the protected harbor.

The winter morning sun glitters coolly on the Adriatic in Pomena Bay. At noon, St. Mary's Island is wrapped in meditative silence, far from the summer crowds. In the afternoon, we hike through evergreen forests that retain their scent even in winter. With sunset arriving around 4:30 PM, we enjoy the blue hour in the solitary harbor.

In the afternoon, cross the Mali Most and enjoy the warm waters of the Small Lake. The tour ends back in Pomena, where you can unwind with a refreshing drink.

A sporty rainy ride starts in Pomena. We utilize the paved paths around Veliko jezero, which offer good grip even when wet.
