You arrive along the narrow road that rims the Bay of Mali Ston, wind carrying the briny tang of the Adriatic and the faint smoke from seaside kitchens. Low, glassy water laps the racks where oysters lie in tidy rows; family members move with practiced economy, opening shells and sliding flesh onto a plate. The soundscape is simple — gull calls, the clink of cutlery, and distant footsteps on the medieval Walls of Ston.
