Shedule Buses on Mljet : The bus travels just once or twice a day, schedules to be confirmed - I am trying unsuccesfully to contact bus company that runs buses on Mljet... I keep trying... :-( The latest news I get is that EVERY ferry is meet by bus that takes you around the island - so bus timetable is adjusted to ferry arrivals and departures. Sounds good to me :-)

Somebody said really good thing about trave to Mljet - Quote: " The slow ferry ship is a wonderful sightseeing experience, giving you a glimpse of all islands from Dubrovnik to Mljet as you pass along them, even a insight view as the ferry harbors to many islands of the Elaphite archipelago as a part of its line. The trip is an opportunity to make many unforgettable pictures and see what Dubrovnik Riviera is all about. Of course this kind of trip has it disadvantages, the main being the speed of the journey which is about 3hrs. If you decide to go with the fast catamaran boat the time of the voyage is reduced considerably lasting less than 90 minutes but you won't be able to enjoy the sightseeing as you are not allowed on deck during the voyage. The feeling is similar to aeroplane flight, the speed, the seat and the small window. "
