Croatia Sailing Trip | Part 4 | Mljet Island - National Park
Sailing Croatia Islands and visiting its major large cities, Our third stop was in Mljet Island and its national park where Saint Mary's island exist inside the national park with awesome pure beauty of all the neat surroundings, more info:
Mljet is the southernmost and easternmost of the larger Adriatic islands of the Dalmatia region of Croatia. The National Park includes the western part of the island, Veliko jezero, Malo jezero, Soline Bay and a sea belt 500 m wide from the most prominent cape of Mljet covering an area of 54 km2. The central parts of the park are Veliko jezero with the Isle of St. Mary, Malo jezero and the villages of Goveđari, Polače and Pomena.
Mljet was discovered by ancient Greco-Roman geographers, who wrote the first records and descriptions. The island was first described by Scylax of Caryanda in the 6th century BC, it is named Melite and supported by Apollonius of Rhodes. Agathemerus and Pliny the Elder call the island Melita.
Agesilaus of Anaxarba in Cilicia, the father of Oppian, was banished to Mljet by the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus
Monastery of Saint Mary
Mljet is mentioned around 950 by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogenitos in his Of Ruling an Empire as one of the islands held by the Narentines. The island was often a controversy of ownership between them and Zachlumia until the stronger unifications of the Serbian realm in the 12th century. Ancient Greeks called the island Melita or honey which over the centuries evolved to become the Slavic name, Mljet.
Mljet has been regarded as the Melita on which Saint Paul was shipwrecked, this view being first expounded in the 10th century, by Eastern Roman Emperor Constantine Porphyrogenitus. Saint Paul's shipwreck is generally placed on the Mediterranean island of Malta. Mljet and Malta had the same name in the Greek and Roman sources; the mention of a viper in was thought to be in favour of Mljet (but there are snakes on both Mljet and Malta). A harbour named after the Saint exists on both islands.
The Benedictines from Pulsano in Apulia became the feudal lords of the island in 1151, having come from Monte Gargano in Italy. They came ashore in the Sutmiholjska cove and in 1187–1198 the Serbian Prince Desa of the House of Vojislavljević built and donated to them the Church and Monastery of Saint Mary on the islet in the Big Lake (Veliko Jezero) towards the north-west end of the island. Pope Innocent III issued a document consecrating the church in 1198.
In the 16th century, the monastery was the center of the Mljet Congregation (Congregatio Melitensis or Melitana), gathering all the monasteries of Benedictine monks in the area of the Republic of Ragusa. The first president of the Congregation was Mavro Vetranović, the abbot of the Mljet monastery and the famous poet. Another great poet was abbot there—Ignjat Đurđević in the 18th century. As time went by, the Benedictine monastery on Mljet lost its importance, while the seat of the Mljet Congregation moved to Sveti Jakov near Ragusa.
In 1809, during the rule of Napoleon, the Mljet monastery was disbanded. When Austria took over the island, it placed the forestry office in the building. Between the world wars, the building was owned by the Ragusa (Dubrovnik) Bishopric. In 1960 it became a hotel, and in 1998 it was returned to the bishopric. The island has a long history of eco-damage. In order to ease their transport problems, the monks dug a channel to the south coast, from the lake Veliko Jezero, thus turning both fresh-water lakes into seawater-based ones.
Thanks for watching, stay tuned for more !

Most Beautiful Croatian Islands
Most Beautiful Croatian Islands
Cres
Cres is the same size as Krk, which makes it one of the two largest Croatian islands. It is located in the northern part of the Adriatic Sea and is accessible by drawbridge. Most of the island is still fairly undeveloped, which makes it perfect for an adventurous vacation. Its largest town, also called Cres, is a must-see for all lovers of Venetian architecture. Another sight worth visiting is the strikingly beautiful ancient mountain village of Lubenice, which offers a great view of the sea and neighboring islands. Cres is also well known for Lake Vrana, its only fresh water source, which is also one of the deepest fresh water lakes in Eastern Europe, reaching 50 meters below the sea level.
Lastovo
The island of Lastovo is part of the island municipality Lastovo, consisting of 46 islands, which have in total the population of 792 people. Needless to say, this makes Lastovo an ideal place for a truly peaceful getaway. In addition to its picturesque shores, deep, clear sea and unspoiled nature, Lastovo is also known for its delicious local specialties, high quality wine and great sailing.
Rab
The island of Rab is one of the islands in the Kvarner archipelago in the northern part of the Croatian Adriatic Sea. It is mostly known for its seemingly endless sandy beaches and the medieval town of Rab, with its four distinct white bell towers. It is perfect for a low-key getaway, long walks on the beach and swimming in the ocean.
Mljet
Mljet is the southernmost Croatian island, known for its National Park, with its two beautiful inland salt-water lakes and lush Mediterranean vegetation. There is even a 12th century Benedictine monastery on a tiny island within the larger one of the two lakes. The island is perfect for exploring the many hidden paths through the forest, swimming and sunbathing on its secluded beaches, biking and canoeing. It is also the home of the legendary Cave of Ulysses.
Vis
Vis is the farthest inhabited island off the Croatian mainland, but totally worth the long ferry ride from Split. Despite its beautiful pebbled beaches, crystal blue sea and mouth-watering local delicacies, the island is still surprisingly peaceful and void of tourists. Definitely worth visiting while it still has most of its old-Mediterranean charm. Among foodies, this island is mostly known for its tiny fishing villages and an abundance of sea foods, along with its local white wine and many wineries.
Hvar
Hvar is located amidst the islands of Brac, Vis and Korcula. It differs from most of the other Dalmatian islands in the fact that is has an abundance of fresh water springs, pine forests, vineyards and fields. Due to its gorgeous Venetian-style architecture, beautiful beaches, pleasant weather and the hottest nightlife on the Croatian coast, Hvar has turned into one of the most popular tourist spots on the Mediterranean coast for celebrities, backpackers and families alike.
Korcula
Korcula is the sixth largest Adriatic island and belongs to the central Dalmatian archipelago. Due to its rich history, most notably the 15th century, when the island was part of the prosperous Republic of Venice, Korcula’s Old Town can best be described as Venice in the heart of Dalmatia. Saint Mark’s Cathedral in the town center, narrow cobbled streets and ancient stone buildings make the island’s historic connections more than obvious to any traveler. The island of Korcula is best known for the sapphire-blue waters, picturesque rocky beaches and the legend of Marco Polo, who, according to one of many theories, was born in a building in the very center of the Old Town.

„The lost paradise. This is the common thing to hear from people who had the chance to visit this magnificent island. The island of Mljet is one of the most beuatiful and most densely wooded island in the Adriatic. One part of the island , its west side, was declared a national park in 1960. Ancient Greeks called this island „Melita ,which means „honey , and this only tells us how they felt about Mljet. The national park consists of two lakes, the Great lake , and the Small lake. In the middle of the Great lake you will find a small island. On this very island , the island of St. Mary, you can enter Benedictine monastery and church of the 12th century. Here, you will find the peace and quiet that we always need sometimes.
Amazing strolls through thick ancient forest, swimming in the lakes and exploring the ancient stories this island tells for so long, will only make your visit to Mljet worth remembering forever.
