Getting to Prapratno ferry port

Prapratno is a small ferry port on the Pelješac Peninsula near Ston. If you are driving from Dubrovnik, the trip is roughly 55-60 km and usually takes about 1 hour in normal traffic. In summer, plan extra time, traffic around Ston and the final approach to the port can slow down, and vehicles line up early for the Mljet car ferry.

• By car from Dubrovnik: follow the D8 (Jadranska magistrala) towards Ston, then continue to the Prapratno turnoff and drive down to the harbour. The last stretch is narrower, so drive carefully and expect slower traffic when the ferry is close to departure time.
• By car from Split direction: take the A1 and connect to the coastal/Pelješac routes depending on your start point. If you are planning a longer road trip, see our practical guide to Croatian motorways (tolls, routes and tips), then continue towards Ston and the Prapratno junction (signposted), and drive down to the port.
• From Dubrovnik Airport: allow around 1 hour 15 minutes by car in typical conditions (seasonal traffic can add time). If you are flying in, check our Dubrovnik Airport guide for transfers, arrivals and planning tips.

Parking and arrival tip: Prapratno is a small bay and space near the waterfront is limited. If you are travelling with a car, it is smart to arrive early and join the vehicle queue well before departure - especially in July and August.

By bus or taxi: there is no reliable direct bus to the ferry ramp. The practical option is to travel by bus towards Ston (or nearby stops on the Pelješac/D8 route) and then continue by taxi to Prapratno. If you are building an itinerary with public transport, use our travel by bus guide for local and intercity options.

Arriving in Sobra: where to go next on Mljet

Sobra is the main arrival port on the eastern side of Mljet. From here you can drive across the island to the villages and beaches on the east (Babino Polje, Prožura, Saplunara), or head west towards the Mljet National Park area (Polače, Goveđari, Pomena). If you're visiting the park without a car, plan onward transport in advance - Sobra is not within walking distance of the lakes.

• By car: follow the island road from Sobra towards your base. For the National Park area, drive towards Polače or Pomena (the main gateways to the park).
• By public bus: Mljet has local buses that start/end in Sobra. There are two main routes: Sobra - Pomena (via Polače and Goveđari) and Sobra - Saplunara (via Prožura and Korita). Bus timetables are adjusted to ferry timetables, so always check the current departure times for your travel day.
• By taxi: if you are connecting to the National Park, have luggage, or arrive outside bus times, taxi is the simplest option.

If you are planning time on the island beyond the ferry crossing, see our guide to Mljet (villages, beaches and practical tips). For a focused visit to the lakes area, use our detailed page on Mljet National Park to plan routes, entrances and what to see.

Boarding tips for cars, motorcycles and campers

This is a small-port car ferry route, so the biggest “make or break” factor is timing. In July and August, aim to be in the vehicle queue at least 60 minutes before departure (earlier is even better on weekends and changeover days). Outside peak season, arriving 30-45 minutes before departure is usually enough, but queues can still happen.

• Queue rule: vehicle boarding is generally first-come, first-served by queue order. If the line is long, you may be assigned to a later sailing.
• Have documents ready: keep your ticket confirmation and vehicle documents (registration/traffic permit) handy, as they can be requested for vehicle tickets.
• Stay close to your car: once you join the queue, stay nearby so you can move forward when the line advances. Keep valuables with you.
• Follow crew instructions: when loading starts, staff will signal when to drive on and where to park on the deck. Go slowly, keep distance, and switch off the engine once parked.
• Motorcycles: bring your own straps if you have them and follow crew directions for securing the bike (salt spray and movement can be stronger on open decks).
• Campers, vans and vehicles with roof boxes: height and length can affect where you are placed on board. Arrive early and be ready to follow special positioning instructions.
• Trailers: treat trailers as a separate vehicle category for pricing and deck placement - arrive early and make sure your trailer load is secured.

Heavy vehicles: if you are travelling with a vehicle over 5.01 t, confirm pricing and boarding requirements with the operator before you travel (an additional charge may apply, depending on category).

Facilities and accessibility

This is a short car-ferry crossing, so facilities are simple and can vary by vessel on the day. Expect basic passenger seating and open-deck areas. For the smoothest experience in summer, bring water, sun protection and a light layer (wind can be strong on deck).

• Toilets and indoor areas: there is usually an indoor passenger area; rules for pets apply in enclosed spaces (see below). If you need step-free access or specific assistance, contact the operator in advance.
• Pets: Jadrolinija states that pets are not allowed inside indoor passenger areas (restaurants, lounges, restrooms, or airline-style seating). Service dogs are permitted in all passenger areas. Check the operator FAQ for the full rules before travel.
• Bicycles: bicycles are allowed according to the current price list (ticket required per tariff category).
• Passengers with reduced mobility: assistance for boarding/disembarking is available, but you should notify the carrier about your needs in advance (ideally when buying the ticket, or before boarding begins) so staff can organise help.

Alternatives to reach Mljet

If you are travelling with a car, the Prapratno - Sobra route (Jadrolinija line 832) is the main regular option to bring a vehicle onto Mljet. If you are travelling without a car, you may prefer seasonal passenger-only catamarans that connect Dubrovnik with Mljet ports closer to your accommodation or the National Park area.

• Dubrovnik - Mljet by catamaran: for passenger-only connections, see our detailed guide to the Dubrovnik - Mljet catamaran (stops can include Sobra and, on some sailings, Polače).
• Dubrovnik - Korčula - Hvar - Brač - Split (Krilo): if you are island-hopping north, this fast line is a popular summer option - details here: Dubrovnik - Korčula - Brač - Hvar - Split (Krilo).
• Dubrovnik - Korčula - Brač - Makarska - Split (Krilo): another seasonal Krilo route that can fit certain itineraries along the coast: Dubrovnik - Korčula - Brač - Makarska - Split (Krilo).

Before you decide, check where your accommodation is on Mljet and pick the arrival port that saves you the most time on the island. For island planning, see our guide to Mljet and, if you're visiting the lakes, Mljet National Park. If you are still choosing where to stay, browse hotels on Mljet to match the best port (Sobra, Polače or Pomena) to your itinerary.
