#1. Mljet Island
Forest-shrouded Mljet is one of the most seductive of all the Adriatic islands.
The establishment of a national park in 1960 down at its western end put the island on the tourist map, but Mljet is anything but overrun.
Visitors are almost entirely drawn to the tourist enclave around Pomena. The remainder of the island retains the unspoilt air of tranquillity that, according to legend, captivated Odysseus for seven years.
