Mljet
the first large island we come upon while sailing the Croatian
sea from the direction southeast to northwest. In historical
times, the entire island was inhabited by the Illyrians. The
Greeks, on their way to Lumbarda (island of Korcula) and other
Adriatic settlements arrived there are stayed due to the water
and bad weather. |

The
island was also inhabited by the Romans, who left behind
archaeological remnants, the most significant of which is the
palace in the harbour of Polace, as well as the names of the
island heights, hills and reefs, as unquestionable proof of
their residence upon the island. Mljet is Croatia's greenest
island with its lush Mediterranean vegetation, clear and clean
sea, gentle sandy shoreline and a wealth of underwater sea life.

This
island is well known far and wide for its southern sorts of
white and red wine, which receive a special flavour and aroma
from the sun and the specific Mljet soil. The island is also
well known for its goat's cheese and honey which, in the past,
was served in emperor's courts, and mostly for the warmness with
which the islanders greet visitors to their island. There are
daily ferry and boat connections with Dubrovnik, while in the
summer months, ferries also travel on the route Trstenik
(Peljesac peninsula) - Polace, significantly shortening the
travel time to the island of Mljet. |

During
the summer months, numerous tourism and excursion boats arrive
to the area of the Mljet National Park (at the harbours of Place
and Pomena) from Dubrovnik, Korcula, Makarska and the Peljesac
peninsula. |
