Description: Mljet lies south of the Peljesac peninsula, from which it is divided by the Mljet Channel. Its length is 23 miles; its average breadth 2 miles (3.2 km). It is of volcanic origin, with numerous chasms and gorges, of which the longest, the Babino Polje, connects the north and south of the island. Port Polace, the principal harbour in the north, is a port of call for tourist ferries. Mljet contains one hotel - The Odisej (from the Greek Odysseus) in the north-west corner of the island.

The northwestern part of the island includes an inland sea as well as a small island (the island of St. Mary) within it. The wallpaper was taken from a terrace of the monastery of St.Mary residing on the small island. The area has been proclaimed a national park in November 12, 1960.

Ancient Greeks called the island "Melita" or "honey" which over the centuries evolved to become the Slavic name, Mljet (pronounced "mill-YET").
