Full Description & Details
Kozarica Harbour is a small, quiet harbour on the northeastern coast of Mljet island, about three miles east-southeast of Polace. It sits at 42°46.604'N, 017°27.855'E and offers a simple, rustic stop for sailors who prefer self-sufficiency. The harbour is completely open from northwest round to east, so it can be exposed during unsettled weather.
Berthing is along the breakwater, with depths from 2.0 metres at the root to 6.0 metres at the end, or anchoring stern or bows-to among small craft moorings on the inner side. The seabed holds well in sand and weed. There are no facilities on the quay, including water, electricity, wi-fi, or fuel, so come prepared.
Nearby, Mljet offers local restaurants with fresh seafood and traditional Croatian cuisine, hiking trails, and small shops for basic supplies. The nearest airports are Dubrovnik and Split, with ferry or private boat connections to the island.
