Goveđari, just as with the rest of the entire island of Mljet, is visited by love struck couples, nature lovers and researchers, those who love the traces of historical stories and legends, researchers of the distant past, and sites of historical cultural interest.
Goveđari is the only village in one of the most densely wooded islands in the Adriatic, which isn’t found on the coast - the beach is 5 km away. Traditionally, the people here have focused on the land, and the cultivation of wine and olives, and if you want a quiet and peaceful holiday with good homemade food, Goveđari is the ideal choice. The village is also home to the administrative headquarters of Mljet National Park, a post office, parish church and rectory, and several houses.
Island Mljet
Next to Pelješac is the green Mljet, stretching over 100 square kilometers. Thanks to its thick pine forests, karstic caves and two picturesque lakes connected with the sea, gravelly and sandy beaches and a fishing area abundant with fish and lobster, the west part of the island has a national park status.
