Odysseus’ Adventure
By all the cannons on this ship! Hey sailor, listen carefully!
You are sailing in unknown waters if you’re looking for this adventure. Many captains have vanished without a trace in the depths of the Adriatic straits and cliffs. Some say it is Poseidon himself who raises the winds and storms to guard the ancient entrance to the Strait of Otranto… but fear not, Uncharted reveals to you:
“TERRA INCOGNITA”
(Unknown Land)
After the great victory at Troy, the Greeks, drunk on glory and power, delayed their return home and celebrated in every port along the slopes leading to the Otranto strait.
The god Poseidon, seeing their arrogance, decided to punish them with a huge storm that sank most of their mighty fleet.
Odysseus, a master sailor, fought a great battle with his twelve ships to save himself and his comrades.
But what you do not know – and what our Captain Filip does – is the secret of Odysseus’ first encounter with the Unknown Land.
On this adventure we will meet the people of the Cyclops on the island of Hvar, after which we must uncover the Secret of the Six, still hidden from the eyes of every curious soul, and which will point us to the next clue on our journey.
Restless spirits roam these waters. The only route that can save us from certain shipwreck is the Omiš Strait, once home to the infamous Omiš Pirates, from whom even Odysseus barely escaped as he fought to pass through on his way to Ithaca.
But he did not find Ithaca.
At least not yet.
Instead, he found something that captivated his mind, heart, and every other sense.
He found Mljet (Melita).
Sailors, prepare yourselves, for we are approaching one of the most mysterious islands of the Adriatic, hiding its caves, lakes, natural treasures, and Circe’s secret – the nymph who captured Odysseus’ heart and mind.
This route tests even the bravest and strongest among us, so by all the storms of the night, we will need all the help the heavens can give. The winds are favorable – if you are ready, let us sail the Unknown Route of Odysseus with the crew of Uncharted!
