POMENA lies in the bay of the same name, suitable for anchoring smaller yachts. The place has some 50 inhabitants who primarily live off of agriculture, fishing and tourism, the latter gaining more and more importance. You can find both private and hotel accommodation in Pomena, where you will also find sports fields, where you can rent bicycles, canoes and surfboards, or take a sailing or diving course. Pomena is, like the entire island of Mljet, part of which has been proclaimed a National Park, surrounded by a dense Aleppo pine forest. The well-known Small lake (Malo jezero) is only 200 meters away from the hotel in Pomena.
