Thought by many to be the most beautiful island
of the Adriatic, Mljet is covered
by a carpet of ancient forest and is rich
in flora and fauna. Time magazine places the
island of Mljet among the 10 most beautiful
islands of the world. Jacques Cousteau considered
this part of Adriatic as one of the world's
most beautiful diving locations. There is
an outstanding national park of over 11 square
miles with two lakes, Malo and Veliko.
These beautiful lakes are one of the reasons
that Mljet was declared a National park
in 1960. The unusual unity of the interesting
relief, rich Flora and Fauna, and cultural
monuments, make this National park one of
the most attended in Croatia.
On the tiny island of St. Mary there is
a 12th century Benedictine monastery that
can be reached by small taxi boat. For those
who prefer pleasant walks, the island is
criss-crossed with paths around the lakes,
over the hills, through forests and along
the seashores. Its hot summers, numerous
bathing beaches and fascinating cultural
heritage distinguish Mljet as an unspoiled
island resort of immense quality.
