Ston and the Neretva Delta
A day of contrasts. Stone walls in Ston in the morning, a modern bridge across the bay, and then a completely different landscape: the flat, green delta of the Neretva river.
In season the delta is full of mandarin orchards, and local growers sell fruit by the road.

Pelješac Bridge
Across the bridge towards the mainland and the mouth of the Neretva.

Good to know
Mandarins are in season in autumn. If you want a boat ride on the channels, ask in advance; it is booked and paid separately.
