Savour the Flavours of the Peljesac Peninsula

Out on a limb and far away from the busy resorts along the Dalmatian coast, the Peljesac Peninsula reminds me a bit of what Istria (in the North) used to be like before it was ‘re-discovered’ by tourists. This is a real ‘foodies’ paradise, home to the finest oysters in the country and some of the best wines. On this trip you’ll be going out with a local fisher to see how oysters and mussels are cultivated (and to try them fresh from the sea) as well as visiting two different wineries. There’s also lunch at a fabulous tuna restaurant and dinner at a traditional ‘konobo’.
The peninsula is also a famous producer of salt (it’s what the economy was once based on) and you’ll be able to see the salt production process at Ston.
To balance out these wonderful gastronomic experiences, there’s a fantastic walk along a 14th Century wall (the second longest in the world) from Ston to Mali Ston, and an old ‘ghost’ village to explore. For the ‘beach bums’, there’s a visit to 2 gorgeous bays included as well as a chance to try windsurfing.
Note that the boat trip and winery on day 1 needs to be booked in advance as well as a couple of the recommended restaurants. Details on how to book are provided in the itinerary.
