Dubrovnik to Polače ferry

Leave Dubrovnik’s stone walls and Adriatic skyline behind as the ferry journey carries you towards Polače, a peaceful harbour on the island of Mljet. The DubrovnikPolače route links one of Croatia’s most celebrated coastal cities with an island known for dense pine forest, clear water and a wonderfully unhurried rhythm. Polače sits in a naturally sheltered bay on Mljet’s north-western shore, close to the lakes and woodland landscapes of Mljet National Park. It is an inviting arrival point for travellers heading for quiet walks, swimming spots and the island’s timeless Mediterranean scenery. Near the village, Roman-era ruins add another striking layer to this small, sea-facing settlement. The crossing itself is a lovely change of pace: a chance to watch the Dalmatian coast recede and let the open water set the tone for an island escape.
