July the 12th, 2025 – The gorgeous Mljet National Park in southern Dalmatia has become the first in all of Croatia to allow WhatsApp ticket purchases.
Mljet is known as Croatia’s “Green Island”. Located not far from the hustle and bustle of Dubrovnik, this island paradise is a universe away from busy city life. Covered in dense Mediterranean pine and cooled by the lapping of gentle waves, the only noises you’ll constantly here there are made by thirsty crickets.
The national park is free to lie on its laurels and has been for decades, effortlessly drawing visitors from across the world without needing to really lift a finger – such is its remarkable beauty. Now, it is set to become even easier to buy a ticket to enter Mljet National Park and enjoy its lakes, nature, crystalline waters and overall serenity.
As Morski writes, Mljet National Park recently presented a handy digital innovation that will make it much easier for visitors to purchase tickets and thus stay in the park – through WhatsApp, something most of us use daily.
The new Mljet National Park WhatsApp service represents a genuine revolution in the way visitors access information about the national park. Instead of long calls, waiting in lines or looking for information in different places, all you need is to send one single message on WhatsApp to this number: +385 99 219 6659.
“The digitalisation of certain tourist services is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. Our visitors, whether they come from Croatia or abroad, are used to the speed and simplicity offered by digital services, and we can now provide them with that,” they explained from the Mljet National Park.
Through a simple WhatsApp message to the park’s account, visitors have instant access to all key information:
The practical information given includes detailed instructions on how to get to the park, whether by ferry or catamaran, which is especially useful for those visiting the island for the first time. Then comes info about various activities and experiences there, covering everything from hiking and mountain trails to cycling routes, allowing visitors to plan their experience in advance. An island guide also provides useful information on settlements and places worth visiting, while the tourist train and boat timetable ensures that you don’t miss a trip to the famous islet of Sveta Marija.
This functionality is especially useful for tourism professionals, such as boat rental companies, tour operators and agencies for several reasons. There is no longer a need to make phone calls, send emails or make physical visits to collect tickets. The Mljet National Park ticket purchase process has now been simple, digital and available 24/7 thanks to WhatsApp.
Using the new Mljet National Park WhatsApp chatbot is extremely simple. Visitors just need to send a message with the keyword “I<3Mljet” to the official WhatsApp number +385 99 219 6659 or scan the QR code located at the entrance to the national park and on promotional materials. You can also download a video presentation of how to use the application by clicking here.
The service is available 24 hours a day, in Croatian and English, which ensures that domestic and foreign visitors alike can access information equally easily.
