Head to the beautiful island of Lopud, the third in size of the Elaphite group, and one of the most important islands in the archipelago, due to its initiative of environmental and natural diversity tourism. The island is home to no more than 200 people and was part of the Republic of Ragusa in the 11th century.

Day 4 - Enjoy your day in the Peljesac Peninsula
Start a unique adventure in the southern part of Dalmatia, to the Peljesac Peninsula, where we recommend you visit its vineyards and enjoy a tasting tour of the "intriguing red wines", named for their intense and deep red colour and its particular smell reminiscent of that of raspberries and tobacco plantations. Go On! Try a Dingac, Postup or Plavac!
Continue to the "stone walls", the second longest and most impressive wall in the world at 5 km long, which surrounds the medieval city of Ston.
Explore Ston Prapratno Beach, a wonderful place surrounded by olive groves, clean sand and a camping space that invites you to enjoy the tranquillity of the place.
Ston and its medieval atmosphere with narrow alleyways (subterfuges of the Balkan War), is renowned for its salt flats and for being a place to collect mussels and oysters, so we suggest you enjoy a delicious lunch with these specialties in one of the local restaurants, before returning to Dubrovnik.
