Spend a private day from Dubrovnik exploring Ston’s great wall, historic salt pans and family-run wineries on the Peljesac Peninsula. This flexible tour combines coastal scenery, oyster farms and tastings of the region’s signature plavac mali.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You leave Dubrovnik’s old stone streets behind and slide along the coastline toward a peninsula that has made its living from sea, salt and sun. The road tightens, the Adriatic flashes turquoise, and the first view of Ston’s long defensive wall appears like a patient line of guardians above the salt pans.

History
Ston’s walls and salt pans were developed by the Republic of Ragusa to protect highly valuable salt production, foundational to the city-state’s economy.
Conservation
Many wineries and oyster farms follow small-scale, low-impact practices; stay on marked paths, avoid disturbing pans and support local producers to help sustain traditional land and sea uses.
