- After 45 mins drive we cross over to the peninsula of Peljesac , with bay of Mali Ston dividing us from the mainland as the peninsula bends towards the open sea.
- Soon we arrive at Ston, a medieval city famous for its great city walls – second largest preserved fortification system in the world, its charming Gothic center and its salt pains – major money generator in medieval times (salt was very dear and in demand in those days).
