Pomena

Pomena is a small village as well as a harbor located at the west end of the Island of Mljet, about 2 km away from the village of Govedari. The village has just over 50 permanent inhabitants.

They live in farming, fishing, and tourist trade. Initially, it was founded by the Govedjari people, as that was their nearest sheltered bay and access to the sea. They used to come to the bay mainly to fish. However, since the growth of tourist trade in the area, and the construction of Hotel Odisej (see it in the above photo) Pomena became more of a tourist place.

Being located just over 15 minutes walk to Malo Jezero (Small Lake) of Mljet National Park, the village is the main entry point to the Park. Nowadays has its hotel, a couple of restaurants and coffee bars, grocery and souvenir shops, agencies, etc… As a bay, is a very safe place for anchorage, being sheltered by a tiny island of Pomestak, which acts as a local naturist beach too.

Pomena is also a port where you will arrive if you take a day trip to Mljet or by fast passenger catamaran ferries from Korcula, Hvar, Split, Brac, or Dubrovnik (see video here).
