Ston – a hidden gem on the Peljesac peninsula

Ston is located on a narrow isthmus that connects the Pelješac peninsula with the mainland. Precisely such a strategic position was the reason for the construction of the Ston walls, so Ston was left with a unique historical heritage 5.5 km long from the 14th century. With numerous towers and bastions that are really worth visiting. Just like the walls, you will be delighted by the view of the surrounding southern Dalmatian islands. Fans of unusual specialties will surely enjoy the gastronomic offer of Ston. The gastronomic brand of Ston cuisine is Mali Ston oysters and mussels that have been grown here since Roman times, and the famous dessert of this region is Ston cake, with an unusual ingredient – pasta.
