Best things to do in Peljesac

Pelješac's Essential Treasures

The Pelješac peninsula is defined by its massive 14th-century defensive system and centuries-old traditions. This list features the Walls of Ston, once the longest fortification in Europe, and Solana Ston, one of the oldest active saltworks in the Mediterranean.
