Mljet, Croatia

After an early departure from Dubrovnik followed by a nice breakfast we sailed to Mljet, the first larger island one comes upon while sailing the Croatian Adriatic from Dubrovnik to Split. It is Croatia's greenest island and considered the most beautiful and forested island with its Mediterranean vegetation, clear and clean sea, gentle sandy shoreline and a wealth of underwater sea life.

Sadly the weather was not on our side and it was quite chilly and overcast so we skipped the walk to the national park and spent the morning doing a brief stroll of the tiny town before enjoying a drink at the beach bar overlooking the sea, then spent the afternoon relaxing on board.

Dinner was at Forca, a small seaside restaurant with our boat friends. We have formed a fun little group of six and it was a lovely night sharing travel experiences while sharing a meal together. We ended the night with a stroll further around the bay and a nightcap. A nice easy day considering the weather.Read more
