STON

Croatia’s second largest peninsula is only a 90 minutes drive from Dubrovnik and worth it if it took a week.  Peljesac is all best bits and pieces of Croatia put together—the stone walls and dreamy hilltop villages; glorious vineyards and groves that roll down to the Adriatic, hidden beaches, vast tracts of wild nature, charming seaside towns and fabulous history—including what was at one time (in the 15th and 16th centuries) the largest and longest defensive system of wall fortifications in Europe, stretching from one side of the peninsula to the other!  Highlights include the historical sea-faring village of Orebic at the foot of Sveti Ilija Mountain, bustling with cafés and shops;.Ston, with those amazing walls and Trpanj, another lovely seaside town.  While you are here, be sure to enjoy Peljesac’s famous Dingač and Postup wines, made from Plavac Mali grapes, the ancestor of Zinfandel.
