Ston Oysters & Shellfish
25 min driveMali Ston Bay produces some of Europe's finest oysters. Farmed since Roman times in crystal-clear waters where fresh mountain springs meet the Adriatic. The unique conditions create oysters with a distinctive sweetness you won't find elsewhere. The bay's oyster farms have operated continuously for over 2,000 years, making this one of the world's oldest aquaculture sites. Today, local families maintain traditional harvesting methods while producing oysters served at Croatia's finest restaurants.
