The National Park Mljet, the only national park in the Dubrovnik – Neretva County and Croatia’s first marine protected area in the Mediterranean, is today celebrating its 58th birthday. The National Park Mljet was founded on this day, the 11th of November 1960.

"The National Park Mljet has become a target of numerous visitors in search of pure nature rich in life and culture and this year we have seen a record number of visitors to the park,” commented the Mljet National Park.

They added that this year was significant due to the arrival of three electric catamarans that are used to transport guests around the lakes inside the National Park.
