the western bit of Island

that are interconnected by a narrow channel. Veliko
jezero ( Large Lake) covers the area of 1,5 square
kilometers. Malo Jezero (Small Lake) is about 1/4 of square
kilometers. The salinity of the water in the lakes is bit lower

about 4 degrees Centigrade. Due to these details, Veliko and
Malo Jezero are popular places for visitors to swim in. Both
lakes are surrounded with dense old pine forest. In the middle
of Veliko Jezero there is a little island called Melita where
Benedictine monastery is located. Walking and cycling are allowed all around National Park Mljet. Some parts of the
Nationa Park can be reached by car too. National Park Mljet
