Ston is a pleasant little town located on the Peljesac Peninsula, which lies just off the coastline of Dubrovnik. Its claim to fame (and the reason why you should add it to your to-do list), is that the Ston Town Walls are famously the longest defensive structure in Europe. The walls stretch for 5.5 km and are sufficiently impressive to be called the “European Walls of China”. These defensive structures were built in the 14th and 15th century, to offer additional protection to the Republic of Ragusa (Dubrovnik) and to protect her precious salt pans. Just up the road you will find the famous oyster beds of Mali Ston (Little Ston) - feasting on these little treasures is another good reason to visit Ston.
