The wake from a cruiser cuts a bright line across the Adriatic as Dubrovnik recedes and the Elaphite isles drift into view. Salt-scented wind and pine shadow meet the low, tree‑covered slopes of Mljet; by midday the boat slips into the glassy inlet of the national park where two sea lakes breathe like inland bays.
