Detailed itinerary

Upon arrival, we set sail on a boat trip to a local oyster farm. During the approximately one-hour boat ride, guests will enjoy a welcome shot of myrtle liqueur, a traditional local beverage. The boat tour includes a visit to the oyster cultivation site, where you will have the opportunity to learn about the oyster farming process, see how oysters are cultivated, and gain insights into shellfish harvesting and preparation.

You will have around 2 hours free to discover all beauties of the small town Ston. Only a kilometer away by car or walking along the walls (40 min), at the foot of hill Podzvizd, lies the medieval town of Ston, whose history dates as far back as the Dubrovnik Republic. Ston is rich with historical and cultural tradition, and the former value of Ston as the city of salt has been confirmed today in the plants of the oldest active saltworks in the world.
