Secondly, on Mljet Island there are 3 ports, Sobra, Polace and Pomena all 3 have a connection from Dubrovnik, so you should check which one is the better in relation to your accommodation on Mljet, or even better pick the ferry first and then accommodation, otherwise, you might have to spend quite a bit on a Taxi to move between the places.
