Magnificent Croatia-Exploring Ston and Korcula
Discover a charming little town of Ston with its 5-kilometre long walls; and the island of Korčula – the hometown of Marco Polo, the famous world traveler. Ston is renowned for its delicious oysters that we will taste in one of the local restaurants, accompanied by a glass of local wine. Another landmark of Ston is its old salt ponds where the salt is still produced today in the old way.
The tour continues with a drive to Orebić where we take a ferry for Korčula. Covered with dense pine forest, the island was named Korkyra Melaina, meaning “Black Korčula”, by the Greeks in the 3rd century B.C. The city of Korčula is one of the most beautiful medieval cities on the Adriatic Coast. We tour its charming streets and squares with Renaissance palaces, and magnificent Cathedral of St Mark, the city’s patron saint. Enjoy a tasty lunch before heading back to the mainland. Drive along the Pelješac with a stop for a visit to the local winery where we will taste some of the famous local wines.
