Hike to the Legendary Odysseus Cave
One of the greatest things to do in Croatia if you want to reconnect with nature and work out at the same time is hiking to the incredible Odysseus Cave on Mljet Island. An hour is spent on the hike to the destination and an additional hour is spent returning to the starting place. You won't have any issues if you're in reasonable shape and have a good pair of sneakers or hiking boots. You will be led on the hike through unforgiving terrain and alongside precipitous cliff edges. The scenery is breathtaking the entire way, but pay attention to your step! You'll reach Odysseus Cave after enjoying 60 minutes of breathtaking sea views.
It’s important you pack a towel and your swimming gear because the only way you can reach the cave is if you jump into the water and swim. The water is super salty, which helps you stay afloat easily. Inside the cave, you’ll find some pink rocks you can climb onto for a break before heading back. You’ll also see countless tiny fish in the water and may even hear bats overhead.
