What to do in Mljet

Activities, attractions and tours

I took this photo at Mljet Island, Croatia last summer. It was truly a paradise there! This is a small lake within the island. In fact there are 2 lakes on the island - Malo jezero ("small lake") and Veliko jezero ("large lake". But maybe more technically "big lake". A native speaker knows the answer!). And the views were here amazing. There was lush green beauty everywhere. And the water was so gorgeous. It was really peaceful there! And this is actually inside a national park - Mljet National Park. The best views, unfortunately, are actually from above. Many of the famous photos you will see of Mljet are taken from the sky!
