Ston

Morning starts sheltered in the Rector's Palace, admiring the architecture while the rain taps on the stone. Midday, visit the Church of St. Blaise and observe the salt pans; the rain creates a misty, ethereal look over the basins. Afternoon is for the Kaštio Fortress and a cautious walk on the lower parts of the walls. Evening ends in a cozy Mali Ston tavern with a warm bowl of traditional oyster soup.

The winter morning in Ston is crisp and clear, ideal for visiting the Rector's Palace without the crowds. Midday, the low winter sun reflects off the white stone of St. Blaise's Church. Afternoon is perfect for the full wall hike if the wind is low, offering crystal-clear vistas of the Pelješac peninsula. Since darkness falls early, end the day with a glass of local red wine by a fireplace in a cozy tavern.

Explore the flat plains and scenic coastline around Ston by bicycle. This route takes you away from the main attractions to hidden bays and small fishing villages like Hodilje and Luka, where time seems to stand still. Enjoy the fresh sea breeze and the culinary treasures of the region.
