Korcula to Ston

Distance: 60 km. Total elevation: 902 m

Early ferry to the mainland. An interesting high cloud formation for most of the day. Nice coastal road before the big climb to our picnic lunch. Then a rewarding inland downhill and a sneaky tunnel which opened up to amazing vistas of the Dalmatian coast.

Explored the old city of Ston which has a series of well preserved defensive stone walls. Originally over 7km (now around 5km remain), they were built in the 14th century to protect the precious salt pans that contributed to Dubrovnik's wealth, and are still being worked today.

Ston is also renowned for its ‘Ston Cake’ - which we had to try. It’s an interesting combination of almonds, walnuts, penne pasta, cinnamon & chocolate.Leer más
