The history in the stones

Stopping into Ston when you’re roadtripping through Croatia is a delight. Close to Dubrovnik but another world away, stopped in time with barely a tourist in sight. The wall surrounding the town watches over the plants springing from the abandoned buildings with a thriving little street offering up fresh seafood for the day.

If you’re in need of a break from the crowds, a little reading of history, some swims, fresh oysters and the liveliest locals, get off the beaten path and spend a day in Mali Ston.
