E-Bike Tour of Mljet National Park — Lakes Loop, St. Mary Island & Polače

The Experience
Before You Go
Start mid-morning
Temperatures are mild and light is best for photos; mornings also avoid the briefest afternoon ferry crowds.
Use the e-assist conservatively
Switch to low or medium assist on descents to conserve battery for the return leg; the route includes short climbs.
Respect the park rules
Only bikes are allowed around the lakes — stay on designated paths and dismount for narrow crossings and pedestrian zones.
Carry ID and a small EUR cash amount
Some small village konobas and vendors are cash-preferred and the booking requires ID details.

Conservation Note
Mljet is a protected national park; stick to marked routes, avoid swimming in restricted zones, and carry out any litter to minimize impact.
