Explore Mljet
If you are a lover of untouched nature, be sure to visit “the most seductive island of the Adriatic”, King Charles himself couldn’t resist Mljet’s beauty and visited this island on several occasions.
Before reaching Mljet, we can have a stop for some photos or a quick dip in the Adriatic.
The greenest Croatian island, about one hour from Dubrovnik by speedboat is well-known for its amazing natural sceneries and eventful history. Mljet National Park covers about 30% of the island and includes two saltwater lakes, dense pine forests, small islet of St. Mary and largest coral reef (Cladocora caespitosa) in the Mediterranean.
The National Park cannot be reached by the boat directly, so we will take you to the closest port where you can rent a bike or we can help in organizing a transfer to the park. You will have some free time to explore island’s natural beauties on your own.
Over the history Mljet was home to many nations, Illyrian remains can be tracked 4000 years back, Greek and Roman ships often sought shelter on the island shores. The legend has it that St. Paul had escaped on the island of Mljet (Latin: Melita) after a shipwreck but probably the most intrigue legend is associated with ancient Greek hero Odysseus, who found shelter in a cave on the coast of Mljet, where he lived for 7 years, detained both by the beauties of the island and of the nymph Calypso.
The Odysseus cave can be accessed only from the sea side, hence we will drop anchor near the cave, get some snorkeling gear and dive in medias res of this ancient story.
Besides its crystal-clear waters, Mljet coast is rich with many small bays and hidden beaches awaiting to be discovered, we will be delighted to take you to an unforgettable tour around this paradise island.
After exploring the best of what Mljet has to offer, we set sail in direction of Dubrovnik but before reaching our final port, we’ll take you to a small fisherman’s village of Šipanska Luka on the beautiful Šipan island. Šipan has been part of the Republic of Dubrovnik for centuries, and numerous historical buildings still stand as a reminder of that glorious time.
Experience the traditional Mediterranean way of life this charming village managed to preserve as many locals still live out of fishing and agriculture, resisting the modern pace of life…
