Mljet is also home to two interconnecting salt-lakes, Veliko Jazero and Malo Jazero, in the Mljet National Park. The lakes, with sources dating back 10, 0000 years, are proclaimed to be unusual geological and oceanographic phenomena of global significance.Up until the Christian era, these were freshwater lakes. They are surrounded by beautiful, rich forests creating an image of an unspoiled natural world.

The beautiful, remote island of Lastovo, and the surrounding archipelago, make for the perfect spot to explore quaint, ancient stone villages and weave through the lush pine forests.

It’s a top destination for yachtsmen from all over the world and you will be able to find the secrets of Vis yourself.
