Ston Travel Guide

A small medieval town on the Pelješac peninsula guarded by the Great Wall of Ston — the longest preserved fortress wall in Europe at nearly 5.5 km, often called the European Great Wall.

The twin towns of Ston and Mali Ston together form a unique historic complex, easily visited as a day trip from Dubrovnik.
