Mljet

Southeast of the island Korčula there is the island Mljet, which is also called "Odysseus Island" and is the greenest island in the Adriatic with about 90% of forest. The great variety of flora and fauna is especially appreciated by nature lovers.

One third of the island is part of the Mljet National Park (western part), which is the oldest sea park in the Mediterranean. There are two salt lakes, Malo Jezero and Veliko Jezero. The latter is a small island with a Benedictine monastery.

If this is your destination, you should enjoy a meal in the Melita restaurant, where you will be impressed by the local delicacies and the historical atmosphere. Another cultural and historical highlight on Mljet are the ruins of a Roman palace, the third largest in Croatia in terms of size. Another attraction is the sea cave known as "Odysseus Cave". Odysseus probably was shipwrecked here once.
