Some islands seem to have inherited all the good looks in the family. Miljet is one of those islands. In Roman days, the rich and famous built grand vacation homes the remnants of which can still be found. In the 12th century some monks decided this would be the perfect place to build a monastery. It is a stone structure with vaulted ceilings and carved pillars. I have to say, if you are going to be a monk, this is the place to live. The island is heavily forested with biking paths that skirt its shoreline. There are two brackish lakes with clear turquoise water that dominate the landscape.
