This tour takes you from Dubrovnik to Split with a stop at Ston.
Ston was the second most important town, after Dubrovnik, of Dubrovnik Republic. Ston has walls, constructed between the 14th and 15th centuries, and extending over 5 kilometers in length. The walls were fortified by forty towers and bastions. Ston also has large natural salt pans at the base of the Ston Channel, where sea salt has been produced for centuries - a precious monopoly product of the Republic of Dubrovnik.
The story of Split is already 17 centuries old, dating to the time the Roman Emperor Diocletian decided to build his Palace right on the peninsula near the great Roman city Salona, where he wanted to spend the last years of his life. During these 1700 years, the Palace slowly turned into a city, which to this day lures with its rich tradition, glorious history, and beauty of its natural and cultural heritage. Also Split has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1979.
