Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Ston
Ston is a tiny town with a huge wall. Where the Pelješac peninsula narrows to a thread, the old Republic of Ragusa, Dubrovnik's city-state, built a line of fortifications that climbs a steep hill and runs for several kilometres, more than five by most accounts, joining Ston to its twin Mali Ston on the other side of the isthmus. Construction began in the fourteenth century, and the wall is often called the European Great Wall. Walk it if you have the legs, because from the top you see the salt pans, the oyster beds and the narrow channel of Mali Ston Bay opening on each side.
