brochure - (Page 12) Ston & Kobas ˇ The Ancient Ston Walls and Lunch On Kobas ˇ 54km north west of Dubrovnik lies Ston, a small fortified town on the Peljesac Peninsula, founded ˇ in the 14th century. With its natural salt pans - a source of great wealth – this town was regarded at second to Dubrovnik in terms of strategic importance and was protected from foreign invaders by a pentagonal-shaped wall, said to be the longest in the world after the Great Wall of China. Taking 200 years to complete, the structure stretched over 5.5km encompassing 40 towers and 5 forts that housed the guards protecting the region and numerous salt workers. Today 5km of the walls remain offering visitors impressive panoramic views of the area that includes Mali Ston - famous for its world renowned oyster and mussel farms established in Roman times. Hidden Croatia Marine guests will set off from Gruz and the Elafiti islands on board ‘Orietta’ for ˇ a scenic cruise along the Adriatic Riviera to Ston, mooring adjacent to the salt pans and a short walk from the town itself. Your guide will accompany you through the town and give you the history of this remarkable place after which you are free to climb a section of the walls, from where you will enjoy stunning, uninterrupted views of the surrounding area. Having worked-up an appetite, our guests will re-embark for a short trip back down the Ston channel for lunch to Kobas a beautiful village, ˇ which apart from a goat track is only accessible by sea and is a favourite with those in the sailing community. On arrival, you will be greeted by Niksa whose ˇ family has run the restaurant for the last 20 years and be made to feel at home while enjoying a four course lunch by the water’s edge.
