A morning drive peels away from Dubrovnik’s stone walls and the coastline widens into a scatter of islands. The road to Ston curves past salt pans and fortified walls that rise like a low, deliberate spine; further on, the peninsula narrows and the ferry slip at Orebić gives way to the short boat hop across clear Adriatic water to Korčula.
