Croatia 2004

Mljet in southern Croatia, close to the world famous City of Dubrovnik. The ancient Greek poet Homer wrote about this island in Odysee, as the hero Odyssey sailed in this region. Apostle Paul mentions it on his voyage through the Adriatic and visited it on his way to Rome. Just as fate brought many visitors to the island throughout the centuries, today's visitors come to experience the tranquility of Mljet. Thick green forests of Aleppo pine encircle the lakes and shores of the National Park. two connected salt water lakes, Malo Jezero (Small Lake) and Veliko Jezero (Great lake) are nature's masterpieces. The small island of St. Mary in the Great Lake, within the National Park, is the setting for a 12th century Benedictine monastery.
A few kilometres from the lakes is Polace, with the remains of a 2nd century Roman palace.
This harmony between abundant nature and rich heritage produces a feeling of tranquility that brings visitors back. Walking paths covered with forest follow the lakes shoreline. Mountain trails lead to stunning sightseeing that overlook the island.
