While here you will visit the world famous Ston defensive walls; these impressive stone walls stretch for 3 miles around the towns of Ston and Mali Ston and are the second largest defensive walls after the Great Wall of China. Stop for amazing views on Big (Veliki) Ston, then make your way to the Old Town of Big Ston on other side of Peljesac Peninsula.
