The experience continues in nearby Mali Ston, a peaceful fishing village renowned for its oysters and maritime heritage.

Following this, enjoy free time for lunch,either as part of the oyster experience or independently in one of the local restaurants.
In the afternoon, continue to the magnificent Dubrovnik, where a guided walking tour reveals the highlights of its UNESCO-listed Old Town. Walk through centuries of history as you explore its stone streets, squares, and landmarks.
