Type: Area/peninsula

Travel time: 1.5 hours one-way, 3 hours round-trip

Transport: Bus or private tour

Cost: 10 EUR for bus to Ston, 25+ for tour

Best for: Hiking, wine, oysters, and beaches

Season: Year-round

It’s only a matter of time before Peljesac becomes the new Tuscany. This peninsula is known for having some of the best wine and oysters not only in Croatia, but all of Europe. It is also home to the Walls of Ston, the second longest fortress walls in the world. After an awesome hike, you can either relax in the town of Ston, or check out some of the neighboring beaches, like Prapatuno Beach.

You can only take the bus to Ston from Dubrovnik, so you will have to take bus 15 from the main bus station in Gruz. If you’d like to explore beyond Ston (highly recommended) you can take a wine or nature tour of the region
