A scenic speedboat ride through the Korčula Archipelago brings you to the island of Mljet. Stop at the island's south side to see a group of tall rocks shaped by waves over the centuries to resemble an amphitheatre.
There are several small caves at Ropa Bay, including the Odysseus Cave. A large rock here is completely submerged at high tide. Legend holds that Odysseus was shipwrecked here. When he swam to the cave, he was imprisoned by the nymph called Calypso. You'll have time to snorkel inside the cave if you wish but keep a wary eye out for Calypso.
Ride the boat over to Vrnik -- an island famous for its rock quarry. It has a museum, art gallery, tavern, and several small pebble beaches.
Stupe Island is popular for the Moro Beach Bar. The beach features swings out over the water. Relax and enjoy free time for a swim at the beach.

Minimum age is 12 years. Pregnant women and guests with back or conditions are not allowed to participate. Wear your swimsuit under your clothing; bring a towel, reef-safe/biodegradable sunscreen, light clothing to act as a full cover-up for further protection from the sun, and a hat. Swim at your own risk. Bring local currency if you wish to purchase a refreshment at the beach bar.
