Mljet is a green island in the Adriatic archipelago of Croatia’s Dalmatia region. Considered one of the most alluring of the group, it is characterised by its lush Mediterranean forest and long shores lapped by clear waters rich in underwater life. The island is home to two beautiful salt lakes - Veliko Jezero and Malo Jezero. In the waters of Veliko Jezero, St. Mary’s Island hosts the renowned 12th-century Benedictine Monastery, one of the oldest church complexes in the Adriatic, and a significant representative of Croatia’s Romanesque culture. The lakes and the entire north-west part of the island are encompassed by a national park, providing excellent hikes up the hills. It is also possible to rent both bicycles and kayaks. The sheltered and sunny beaches at the Eastern tip of the island offer year-round warm waters, beachside restaurants and idyllic accommodation options.
