Mljet is Dalmatia’s most southerly, most verdant and, some would argue, most beautiful isle. More than 70 per cent of this thin, one-road idyll is covered in pine forest. A third of it is national park. For complete silence, rest and relaxation, get the catamaran or ferry from Dubrovnik and leave the world behind. Between the ferry port of Sobra, on the north-east coast, and catamaran terminal of Polače, on the western tip, is the main ticket office for the national park at Goveđari.
