Ston Town
Empowered only with the sea, wind and the sun, the process of salt and wine production hasn't been changed for centuries. Learn more about tradition of salt harvesting and wine production, dating from 2000 years B.C. The walkable lenth of Ston walls is 3km and if you feel adventurous enough to experience it, walk will take approximately 1h.
Jane Schwarz: „Unforgettable and unique adventure with Ivo! Our group of 6 was met right on time by Ivo. The van was clean and air conditioned. As we drove to Ston, Ivo explained about the area and the culture of the Dalmatian coast. We took a little boat to a private island and learned about oyster and mussel farming. Then we sat at a beautifully set outdoor table and were served a heavenly meal of fresh oysters and steamed mussels in white wine and garlic. Homemade wine and bread! So much fun! So unique!“ Read more
Oysters and Mussels in Ston
You are what you eat – spoil your taste buds with the best fresh oysters in Dubrovnik area which were grown for at least 2 years. Our host will serve oysters to your plate straight from the sea for tasting. While you enjoy, he will prepare a traditional Croatian dish of mussels cooked in white wine sauce and olive oil with parsley and onion called Buzara. Finally you will pair it with fine Peljesac wine and give a finishing touch to your meal!
Keith Collins: „This was a fabulous tour! Ivo was great - very knowledgable, great English. Our oyster experience ranks as one of our favorites from our 2 week cruise of the Mediterranean. We are from Louisiana and eat plenty of oysters and were told that we may not like the Croatian oysters as much, but they were great size, plenty salty and the whole setup in Ston was fabulous. As a bonus we also ate fresh muscles cooked with local ingredients that may have been one of our best meals on trip. Thanks Ivo!!!!“ Read more
