Ston Salt Pans

The village of Ston is located on Pelješac Peninsula and is only 1 kilometre from the smaller village of Mali Ston. The two are connected by an impressive stone wall which runs for over 5 kilometres. This series of defensive stone walls was completed in the 15th century to protect the precious salt pans (seen above). There are some 40 towers and 5 fortresses along the wall. It is the second longest wall in Europe after Hadrian's Wall (Scotland/England). Visitors can climb the walls. This picture was taken from the wall in 2006 and shows the village of Ston beneath with its salt pans spread out behind.

Drop in to Dubrovnik

Many visitors to Pelješac fly into Dubrovnik Airport - if you do, make sure to leave time for a visit into Dubrovnik's old walled town - this medieval walled city is about 20 minutes from the airport and only about 40 minutes drive to Pelješac - it's also a UNESCO World Heritage Site
