Ston – History on a grain of salt
New promotional video of Ston is out and it has very inspirational name – History on the grain of salt.
Ston was the second important city of ancient Dubrovnik Republic. It was famous and important for its saltworks. This video which you can see in the end of the article was filmed in 2017, and according to its director you can see that nothing has changed in Ston since the ancient times. Saltworks, city walls, old houses, everything is still there and operational as it was 500 years ago.
In video you can see magnificent views from the hill Podzvizd (Croatian word that means under the stars), people working in saltworks, fishermen in Mali (Little) Ston, oysters and beautiful scenery. Past couple of years Ston is waking up again. After disastrous earthquake that took place in 1996 town is slowly becoming important point on the tourist map of Croatia again.
I visited this beautiful little town during Ston Wall marathon in 2017. What a great experience I had. I totally recommend visiting.
I was there last year too. What a great event.
