Odysseus Cave
According to Greek legend, Odysseus (Ulysses) was shipwrecked on Mljet Island and swam to this cave where he met a beautiful nymph called Calypso and stayed on the island of Mljet, captivated by the nymph, for the next seven years.
Odysseus Cave is a large karst hole that looks like a 30-meter deep pit. There are two entrances to the cave: one from the seaside via a small and low tunnel (in the photo) and another one from on high. However, the land access to the cave should not be attempted (speaking from experience) as it is a very steep, slippery and perilous descent that should, in all honesty, be closed off to the public before someone gets killed trying to get down there.
