Konoba Galija

Mljet Island


Galija is one of a string of seafood restaurants on the Pomena waterfront – each with its own yacht moorings and seawater tank stocked with lobsters. If you don't mind getting messy, order the spaghetti with shrimp; it's big enough for two and absolutely delicious. Otherwise there's grilled fish, brodet (fish stew), octopus and all the usual fishy suspects.
