Not being able to see all you wanted to yesterday shouldn't be a problem as you can spare some time today. Your next stop is Ston, a small town at the beginning of Pelješac peninsula. On your way, you will pass by Elafiti islands so you can perhaps mix up the previous day, and instead of visiting Elafiti on your 5th day - go straight to Dubrovnik and visit the Elafiti today. Hard life decisions these are, we know, but nothing that a coin toss can't solve! And off you go to Ston, picturesque medieval town once part of the Dubrovnik Republic. We presume you've never even heard of Ston, and in tourism, people say that a lot, but Ston really is a hidden gem and it opens the door to a world of great delicacies and interesting facts. Probably the most well-known thing about Ston is the saltwork dating back to the 14th century, still up and running as I write this piece. Visiting it is highly recommendable as you can see the process behind, buy some souvenirs and the most precious of all - the Flower of Salt. Because of this treasure, very important in medieval times as it gave the salt, wealth and power to the Republic, a monumental defence system, the largest fortification-urban enterprise of Europe at that time has been erected. 5500 m of walls encompassed the Ston and Mali Ston settlements. Hard to describe by words only, these walls are a must-see as they are being completely renewed and the stories behind its construction are something to keep an ear on. The bay of Mali Ston, known for growing shells, especially oysters and mussels, is something you cannot avoid if you want to enjoy sea delicacies. A boat ride to the oyster farm to have a bite at this natural aphrodisiac coming straight from the sea following with a glass of superb indigenous wine sort from Pelješac will enrich your taste buds and the whole visit. Just make sure not to leave the climb to the walls for after the feast, shells in a liquid state don't go along with the Dalmatian rock and won't grow in the soil. We recommend spending your night in the bay of Kobaš, just at the entranceway to Ston. A berth and few restaurants are all you need for the night.
