Mali Ston Hike & Croatian Delicacies

Trek Hillside City Walls and Cruise to an Oyster Farm Visit the town of Mali Ston, Croatia’s oyster capital, and savor a platter of freshly shucked oysters and mussels. Begin your journey by motor coach along the Adriatic coast. In Mali Ston, you will view one of Europe’s finest examples of medieval fortresses. Originally more than 22,000 feet long, the city walls, flanking towers and semi-circular bastions took almost 400 years to complete. From Ston, take a mile-long hike along the defense walls that have become one of Croatia’s most recognizable architectural feats. Then, at the waters edge, board a motor boat and head out to an oyster farm. During your cruise, your guide will explain about the local industry and demonstrate how to prepare the oysters. You will also taste mussels bouzara; mussels cooked with wine, garlic and local olive oil. After your tasting, return to your awaiting ship. * Demanding - Physically challenging activities, including extensive walks, hiking, riding, water sports, and high altitude activities.
