North of Dubrovnik to the Peljesac Peninsula, a stretch of land almost covered by vineyards. Mali Ston, a small town where we the best oysters you will ever taste caught fresh from the oyster beds in the bay. A few miles down the road is Ston. A walled city, its main section crawls up the hill that overlooks the town and ends at a tiny church. While Mali Ston shows no evidence of Croatia's recent war, Ston still does, and residents are hard at work restoring it to its former beauty. Its oysters are said be the best in Croatia.
From its establishment in the 7th century AD, the town was under the protection of the Byzantine Empire. After the Crusades, Ragusa/Dubrovnik came under the sovereignty of Venice (1205–1358), and by the Peace Treaty of Zadar in 1358 it became part of the Hungarian-Croatian Kingdom.
