Accompanied by your Cruise Manager, explore a landscape shaped by legend and geology — Mljet is said to be the island where Odysseus was held captive by the nymph Calypso. Visit the park’s renowned saltwater lakes, whose striking colour comes from a unique mix of marine and freshwater ecosystems. Board a small boat across the larger lake to St. Mary Isle, where a 12th-century Benedictine monastery sits in serene isolation.
