Review:
According to ancient legend, the tranquil beauty of the island of Mljeta impressed the hero Odysseus so much that he stayed here for 7 years. Considering everything there is to do on the island, visitors today might be tempted to stay just as long. Most of the island is taken up by Mljet National Park, which offers spectacular pine forests, two saltwater lakes, and a secluded seaside cave. There are plenty of man-made attractions here as well, including a Benedictine monastery, tombs that date back to the Illyrian period, and the ruins of a large 5th-century Roman palace.
