You pull away from Dubrovnik’s Old Town as the city’s stone roofs shrink into the rearview and the Adriatic widens to your right. The road climbs and drops through scrubby karst and low pine; a viewpoint above Majkovi hands you the first postcard: glittering islets, a ribbon of sea, and the soft green rows of vineyards that define Pelješac.

History
Ston was a strategic frontier of the Dubrovnik Republic and is home to some of Europe’s oldest operational salt pans and extensive defensive walls dating to the 14th century.
Conservation
Pelješac’s karst landscapes and marine zones are sensitive; support small wineries and seafood providers who follow local, low-impact practices and avoid single-use plastics.
