Stonske zidine — Attraction in Općina Ston

The second longest wall in the world! More than 5 km long, built in the 14th century. The wall connects Ston and Maly Ston, blocking the narrow part of the Pelješac peninsula. There are several places to enter. There are 2 routes: a short one around Ston and to Maly Ston. Of course, if you have time, and most importantly, very good physical preparation. Before walking along the wall, you can taste fresh oysters in Mali Ston and be sure to stock up on water with you. A walk along the wall lasts from 45 minutes to 1 h. It all depends on how fast you walk. Great views from the wall on Ston Saltworks. The Ston salt mines are the oldest large mines in the Mediterranean that have survived to this day. Salt production began in antiquity and has not changed for the last 200 years. They produce the highest quality salt that you must buy in the saltworks and take home and try. Salt has been mined here for 4 thousand years. Salt was worth its weight in gold, which is why this wall was built on the mountain to protect it from the Turks and Venetians. In Mali Ston It is definitely worth a visit for the freshest oysters grown right here. Be sure to visit the Vila Koruna restaurant and try the oysters in 6...

I recently visited Stonske zidine, the stunning stone walls in Ston, Croatia, and overall, I’d give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars. The place is absolutely breathtaking—those ancient walls winding through the landscape, the gorgeous views from the top, and the charming old rooftops really make it a special spot. With over 2,000 reviews averaging 4.7, it’s clear a lot of people love it, and I can see why. The history here is incredible, and walking the walls felt like stepping back in time.

That said, it wasn’t perfect. The steps can be a bit steep and uneven, which made it tough going in some spots, especially if you’re not super steady on your feet. It got pretty crowded too, especially around midday, which took away from the peaceful vibe a little. The signage could also use some improvement—getting around wasn’t always clear. Still, the experience was worth it, and I’d recommend it to anyone interested in history or just looking for a unique outdoor adventure. Just plan your visit for an off-peak...

Located at the beginning of the Pelješac Peninsula, stone walls are connecting the towns of Ston and Mali Ston, and were built in the 14th century in order to protect the Republic of Dubrovnik, and the peninsula itself. Today, it is the second longest fortification in the world (after the Great Wall of China) and a great tourist attraction. If you visit Pelješac or Dubrovnik region, you should not miss visiting Ston and its walls. There are two main routes, the shorter one going around the town of Ston, and the longer going from Ston to Mali Ston. If you take the longer tour, be prepared for uphill climbing (hundreds of stairs) and don't forget to bring some water, especially in the summer. The longer route takes approximately 35-40 minutes in one direction (you can come back outside the walls, taking a 15-minute walk). The tour also includes a Large castle, which is located near the walls. After the walk on the Ston walls, you can enjoy locally-grown mussels and oysters, accompanied with famous...
