Mljet is the biggest island of the South-Dalmatian archipelague. There are 1237 inhabitants living on the island. On the north-west end of the island are the Lakes of Mljet: the Great and the Small Lake. These two lakes are connected by a shallow channel, and the Great Lake is connected with the open sea through the channel Soline. In the middle of the Great Lake is the small island of St. Mary and on it the former Benedictine monastery. These beautiful lakes are one of the reasons that Mljet was declared a National park in 1960. The unusual unity of the interesting relief, rich Flora and Fauna, and cultural monuments, make this National park one of the most attended in Croatia. The biggest settlement on the island and the municipal centre is the village Babino Polje. The major harbours are Sobra and Polace.
