Some people say that Homer, while describing the enchanted island of Ogigia, Ulysses and the nymph Calypso, had the island of Mljet in mind. True or not – this island is today certainly a paradise for those who enjoy unspoiled nature and absolute tranquility.
The main attractions of the island are two saltwater lakes completely surrounded by a thick pinewood forest. Enjoy a boat ride on the larger lake and visit the small island of St. Mary with the 12th-century Benedictine monastery. There will be plenty of time for swimming, strolling around the lakes or having lunch in one of the charming local restaurants.
