Okuklje
| |
| |
The harbour of Okuklje lies on the NE coast of the island of Mljet in Croatia, four miles WNW of the easternmost tip. It is situated at the head of a ‘J-shaped’ inlet, the head of which offers virtually all-around protection. As the closest of the island’s harbours to Dubrovnik, Okuklje gets very busy during the peak summer months and its berthing options of restaurant quays, mooring buoys and small anchorage are soon taken up. Yachts visiting during peak periods should allow time to continue to the anchorage of U. Prozura or the harbour of Sobra if Okuklje is full to bursting.

Eating out
Maestral [[Okuklje#Maestral|Maestral]] The jetty of the restaurant is found immediately on the right when entering the bay. Ten yachts can tie up to the moorings and there are two buoys in the bay. The family restaurant, now run by the third generation, is located on the opposite the S shore 10 minutes on foot from the pier. A transfer by dinghy is possible. On the roofed restaurant terrace grilled sardines, goat cheese, mussels from Sobra, Scampi buzara, a brodetto of scorpionfish, risotto and, if pre-ordered, octopus or lamb Peka are served. For dessert, the chocolate soufflé is noteworthy, amongst others. The cook is the son, who studies at the gastronomic academy. Open 1300 - 2400 from 1 April to 1 November. Wifi. --Luksa2.
Maran [[Okuklje#Maran|Maran]] The next jetty after that of Maestral, the one with red bollards, belongs to a Swiss-Croatian family. Nothing in the menu reminds of the proprietor's ancestry: the food is standard Croatian fare, of good quality, but there's a proper coffee machine there, that makes proper espresso. There's Wifi and electricity free of charge (if you eat there), and water for an additional charge (0.5 kn per l). --Dimrub.
[[Okuklje# | ]] There are several restaurants around the bay, most with their own moorings.
