About Mljet The island Mljet is located in the south of the Adriatic sea, in Dubrovnik – Neretva county and it's the eighth largest island in Croatia. It lies south from the Pelješac peninsula, from witch it's divided by the Mljet channel. Mljet is also famous by it's lakes, caves, sandy bays and well kept woods od evergreen oak and aleppo pine. Over 70% of the island is covered by forests. In 1960, the northwestern part of the island was declared a Nacional park, and in 1997. the sea area was included. The nacional park Mljet is the oldest nacional park in the Adriatic , and it was given this status because of it's exceptional cultural and historical heritage. The lakes within the National Park, Small and Big Lake, are special geografic phenomen, which has been directly connected to the sea with two chanels. In the heart of the Veliko jezero (Great Lake) there is a small forested island of Saint Mary with a church and a Benedictine monastery that dates from the 12th century. There are also attractions outside the nacional park, such as The Ulysses cave (the Pit) in the central southern part of Mljet. The Pit has a collapsed ceiling by which it got its name, because when looked at from the air it looks like a big hole in the ground. Through the limestone layers a passage was created that looks like a tunnel, so you can enter the cave swimming or in a smaller boat. As another attraction, the beach Saplunara should be mentioned, which is a protected reserve because of its natural rarities - extraordinary jagged coastline, pine trees and sandy beaches.

O otoku Mljetu Otok Mljet smješten je na južnom dijelu Jadrana, u Dubrovačko-neretvanskoj županiji i osmi je po veličini otok u Hrvatskoj. Od poluotoka Pelješca dijeli ga Mljetski kanal. Poznat je po svojim jezerima, spiljama, pješčanim uvalama i očuvanim šumama crnike i alepskog bora. Preko 70% površine otoka prekriveno je šumom.1960. godine sjeverozapadni dio otoka proglašen je nacionalnim parkom, a 1997. pridodan je i morski dio. Nacionalni park Mljet najstariji je nacionalni park na Jadranu, a status nacionalnog parka područje je dobilo zbog svoje izuzetne kulturno-povijesne baštine. S pučinske strane nacionalnog parka, more se uvlači u tijelo otoka stvarajući Veliko jezero, a zatim preko uskog kanala i Malo jezero. Sred Velikog jezera nalazi se otočić sv. Marije s crkvom i benediktinskim samostanom koji datiraju iz 12. stoljeća. Atrakcija ima i van nacionalnog parka – u središnjem južnom dijelu Mljeta, pokraj naselja Babino polje, nalazi se Odisejeva špilja ili Jama. Jama ima urušen svod te je po tome i dobila naziv jer, gledajući iz zraka, izgleda kao velika rupa u zemlji. Kroz vapnenačke slojeve nastao je prodor u obliku tunela pa se u spilju može ući plivajući ili manjim čamcem. Od ostalih zanimljivosti svakako treba izdvojiti Saplunaru, zaštićeni rezervat prirodnih rijetkosti- iznimna razvedenost obale, samonikle šume pinija i pješčane plaže.
