*To explore the walls of Ston doesn’t mean hiking the walls all the way to the top because it would take hours, and in summer temperatures with no shade and thousands of very steep stairs, it could be harmful for health. There are many great spots from which you can appreciate the size and shape of the walls and take great photos.
