We escaped to Mljet Island after a day and a half in Dubrovnik, and it was everything we were hoping for from Croatia. We had a beach-front apartment with a kitchenette and a beautiful national park to explore by bike, canoe, foot and swimmins.
We're not the first to be taken in by Mljet -- Illyrian pirates used the island's isolated bay to lure Roman merchant vessels. The amphorae from the sunken vessels are regularly recovered from the sea floor around Mljet. Even Odysseus may have spent some time here -- 7 years to be more precise -- when he was lured in by the sorceress Circe.
