  • The Koruna fortress and walls of Mali Ston above the harbour

    ≈ 54 km from Dubrovnik

    The walls of Ston

    Raised by the Republic of Ragusa to guard its salt pans, the walls climb the hill between Ston and Mali Ston — Europe's longest fortification walk.

    The Plavac Mali slopes

  • A platter of freshly shucked oysters with lemon

    Fresh from the bay

    Oysters of Mali Ston

    Pulled from the bay the same morning and served with just a squeeze of lemon — a five-minute stop you'll remember all holiday.
