It’s the gateway to the small, walled village of Mali Ston just northeast. Renowned for cultivating shellfish since Roman times, from here you’ll hop into a small boat for a guided mussel and oyster experience, sampling them fresh straight from the sea to savor their mouthwatering flavors while learning how they’re harvested firsthand.

Meeting our local guide just outside one of the gates, you’ll learn the stories behind the centuries-old buildings and the town itself, known as the birthplace of world-famous explorer Marco Polo. There are many remnants of its Venetian past, particularly from the Renaissance period, which you’ll notice everywhere from the winged lions on St. Mark’s Cathedral to the Loggia and Arneri Palace.
