Here’s an overview of your tour
Enjoy a scenic coastal drive to the charming town of Ston, known for its rich history, medieval walls, and world-famous salt pans. As you arrive, step back in time with a guided tour of the Ston Salt Factory, one of the oldest in Europe, where salt has been harvested using traditional methods for centuries. Stroll through the town’s picturesque streets and soak in its authentic Dalmatian charm.
After the tour, enjoy some free time to explore at your own pace. Walk along the Ston Walls, the second-longest preserved fortification in the world, and admire the stunning panoramic views of the Adriatic and surrounding landscapes. History enthusiasts can visit Fort Kaštio, a stronghold that once protected this strategic coastal town.
No visit to Ston is complete without experiencing its renowned seafood. Treat yourself to the freshest oysters and mussels, harvested straight from the bay, at a traditional local restaurant. Indulge in delicious Dalmatian flavors while enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of this coastal gem.
On the way back to Dubrovnik, take a detour to Arboretum Trsteno, a hidden oasis featuring lush gardens, towering ancient trees, and breathtaking sea views. This centuries-old botanical wonder is also a filming location for Game of Thrones and Vikings: Valhalla, making it a must-see for both nature lovers and TV series fans.
Relax and enjoy the scenic ride back to Dubrovnik, ending your journey filled with history, nature, and unforgettable flavors.
