A small village on the western end of Mljet, Pomena still holds steadfast to its fishing roots, making it an idyllic Croatian retreat. With only a handful of residents and an economy focused on fishing, farming, and making the most of the picturesque harbor, Pomena is all peace and charm outside of the high summer months. During the busy season, the influx swells slightly as visitors pass through this gateway to the Mljet National Park. A pine-green strip meets dazzling blue water and a smattering of restaurants and loungers for propping up with a cocktail or two; Pomena is all birdsong, boats, and bliss. With bicycle trails passing by the national park lakes and a sheltered cove for dropping anchor, Pomena is an easy spot for rest and play.
