Finding Odysseus' Cave: Local Stories Ep 10
Legend has it that Odysseus was ship wrecked on Mljet Island and swam to a cave, where he stayed captivated by the beautiful nymph Calypso for 7 years. We've gone in search of said cave and found that the tricky part is how to get there.

Mljet Croatia, Odysseus cave
Odysseus / Ulyssey's Cave, South coast, near Babino Polje (Pull over on the road parallel to Babino Polje then it's a 20 minute walk towards the south coast from there). Odysseus's cave is situated under the village of Babino Polje. It's a large egg shaped cave accessed by a 30 metre tunnel used as a harbour by local fishermen. There are two entrances to the cave : one from the seaside and the other one from on high. Legend has it that Odysseus found his shelter here after surviving a shipwreck, hence the name. He supposedly was shipwrecked here and due to the beauty of the island's nature and his love for the nymph Calipso, Odysseus stayed on the island for 7 years. As you walk along the path towards the cave, look out for the cute roadsign painting on the rocks! Once you're near the cave, it's a natural beauty and popular for abseiling. There's also some gravity defying, quite amusing grafitti around the rocks also. The view around there is spectacular! In one of the old abandoned rocky houses right above the cave (the former Hotel Penelopa) there's now the Bar Calypso run by an older local guy selling warm souls and cold drinks (water, soft drinks, beer - 20kn each)

We spent a week on the island of Mljet, a national park about 45mins by boat from Dubrovnik in Croatia. It's a popular place for people to come on day trips but we decided to stay on on the island to relax, swim and explore everything the island has to offer.

Looking for cool things to do in Mljet, Croatia? Check out our latest travel vlog where we spent a day at Odysseus Cave on the island of Mljet in Croatia.
While working on an Operation Wallacea project, we spent one of our off days at this awesome semi-submerged cave, jumping into the bluest water we have ever seen and free-diving to the ocean floor.
This day was especially fun, because we spent it with the awesome people working on the project with us, who quickly became our family away from home.

Odysseus' Cave, Mljet Croatia - Swimming in the cave on April 30, 2012!!!
Odysseus' Cave, a site seldom visited by tourists. Is located on the island of Mljet across from Dubrovnik.
Na Mljetu, kod najvećeg naselja - Babino Polje, nalazi se prirodni geomorfološki fenomen Odisejeva špilja. Samo naselje nije uz obalu nego 200 metara iznad u polju. 30 minutna šetnja nizbrdo
