12th-century Benedictine Monastery

Take a boat across Veliko Jezero, the larger of two inland salt water lakes in Mljet National Park, to the idyllic island of St. Mary to visit the 12th-century Benedictine Monastery, and the tiny church of St Mary. The pretty church is open to visitors and the monastery now houses a cafe and restaurant.
