Mljet is the southernmost of the larger islands within the Adriatic, known for its beautiful famed lakes Malo Jezero and Veliko Jezero. The island, which is located approximately 23 miles off the coast of Dubrovnik, has been called the "most seductive island in the Adriatic Sea" by Lonely Planet and is a frequent tourist destination for international celebrities like Prince Charles.

According to legend, the island is purported to be the location of the mythical island of Ogygia, where Calypso kept Odysseus captive. Today, it is covered in large part by a heavily-forested national park, which can be explored on foot or on bike throughout the year. Tourist accommodations are offered in cities like Pomena, including luxurious hotels and rental accommodations.
