About this activity
A 4.5-hour coastal food journey from Dubrovnik to the medieval salt-farming village of Ston, where you'll taste fresh oysters harvested directly from the Adriatic and explore centuries-old salt ponds and fortification walls. This is a rare chance to experience working aquaculture and traditional salt production alongside culinary traditions that define the Dalmatian coast.
Half-day trip
Salty, full of aphrodisiac, directly from the sea. They only need a touch of lemon – and you to enjoy them. On our premium oyster tasting…
This half-day tour will take you to the heart of Ston’s tradition: the second longest stone walls in the world, salt fields (still extracting salt in traditional way), oysters, and of course – perfectly clear blue Adriatic Sea. Beautiful sea that feeds us in so many ways. It provides us with food, work, life, energy, and something to admire. And we will get to know each one of them.
