This was my second favorite restaurant in Croatia. We had the shrimp buzzara and black risotto. They were absolutely delicious. I loved our server, an older gentleman who was warm and hospitable. He strongly suggested the pasta dessert, but also gave us a thin slice of the fig orange cake which was my first choice. He was right, the pasta cake was delicious and better than the other one.

Excellent food, very good portions. Servers were very attentive and gave great recommendations. Fresh oysters were plump and sweet. Recommend the black risotto, grilled scampi, grilled fish fillet. Great local wine list. One of the best meals in Croatia!

Incredible meal started with the most delicious bread and fish pate. Our server was so welcoming and funny, we had a great time with him. The food was fresh, the views beautiful and the vibe chill. One of our top two meals in Croatia. We'll definitely return! Thank you for an amazing dining experience!

I travel a lot and I eat a lot. In the past let’s say 10 years I was on the quest searching the best seafood pasta and I think I tasted it in more than 100 restaurants across few continents. The other day I visited this place with family after I tried their food back in 2021 when we been there for the first time and were blown away. Food is still fantastic, but what stands out is “domaca tjestenina s kozicama”, we took black risotto, tuna, seafood spaghetti, but homemade pasta with gambori/domaca tjestenina s kozicama is one mindblowing dish. They have wines you can pair food with. I could eat only this dish every day. If you are nearby and fancy seafood, you should not miss this place. Staff is great, polite, accomodating and relaxed with smiley faces. Venue has a nice terace. I would come to Ston even only to have a lunch here. Guys keep it up! 🙌

Absolutely loved, and I mean LOVED their Prawn Soup. It was so good, I’ll be chasing that food high for the rest of my life. Creamy, sweet prawns in an excellent broth and dressed with a fruity olive oil. The oysters were amazing. Had the mixed shellfish (clams, mussels, etc) in an olive oil and garlic sauce (buzara na bijelo …I think it was called). Server spoke excellent English even though we had a Croatian in our party. He was warm and welcoming and didn’t mind my lame jokes (or at least he’s an excellent actor if he didn’t like the jokes.) Had a couple of different glasses of surprising wine. Croatia needs to start marketing the hell out of their wines. They are really good. We went in “shoulder-season” of the end of September so it wasn’t crowded, which was nice.

We travelled here on our way back to Dubrovnik with a substantial detour but we're on a quest to eat the best seafood in the country. Indeed the best seafood we had during our 8 day croatia visit and we have been all over. SUPER fresh, cooked to perfection. We had the prawn pasta, black risotto, fish carpacio platter etc. All paired with a main of grilled fish fillet. Absolute perfection. Not to forget to mention the oysters. These were amongst the best ive ever had and ive been north of 40 countries. Absolutely will come back next time around. Special thanks to Brane for the outstanding service and recommendation

The food is magnificent with authentic Dalmatian flavors! Highly recommended! First-class ingredients, very affordable prices! Excellent!

The food was awesome, we ordered some starters (we also got one extra), traditional oysters and mixed shellfish. Everything was flawless. The waiter was extra nice. The setting was both cosy and chic. Great experience!

Bota Šare is beautifully located in a historic salt warehouse right by the water in Mali Ston. The atmosphere is rustic yet elegant, with views over the harbor that set the perfect tone for a memorable meal. The menu showcases authentic Dalmatian cuisine – from homemade bread and seafood risottos to freshly caught fish – but the true highlight is the world-famous Mali Ston oysters, served fresh and prepared in creative ways. What makes the experience stand out even more is the friendly, professional, and knowledgeable staff, who are often praised by name for their warm service. Prices are fair for the quality, and the restaurant consistently ranks among the top dining spots in the region. A must-visit if you want to experience the flavors of Dalmatia in a truly authentic setting.

Definitely worths one hour bus ride from Dubrovnik to come here. The seafoods is the best in our trip. Fresh oyster is must-try in Ston which will not disappoint you. Mussels are fresh and large in portion. Black risotto is amazing with lots of seafood inside.

This is a nice restaurant with a very good atmosphere and service. Unfortunately to me the food was their weakest link. They specialize in oysters and they were very good. However, we ordered the Dalmatian Muscles and they were bad. It appeared that they had been pre-steamed, then heated to serve. Half the muscles had shriveled up and were hard; inedible. Ordered an Amberjack steak (fish), and it was too dry. Perhaps our expectations were too high since we had heard about this restaurant for days. Overall it was fine.

The high prices here were for the views and the fresh seafood. The tuna and oysters are as good as mentioned by the reviews here. The surly service and the soggy napkins took away from an otherwise lovely lunch break from the long drive from Split to Dubrovnik.

Great place for having lunch. Oysters were extremly fresh. The nigiris not so much. The fish was delicious.

The oysters were nice and fresh. But unfortunately we were disappointed by the tuna fillet. The seasoning was a lot and it was overcooked and hard to chew. The potato and spinach side lacked in flavor too. Service was friendly.

In the 14th century when the Pelješac Peninsula was part of the Dubrovnik Republic a seven-kilometer network of stone walls was built over a high hill to connect the salt pans at Ston to the port at Mali Ston, Croatia. Originally intended to defend the city's precious saltworks, the surviving 5.5 km of walls can be climbed by tourists for a fee.

Fantastic place, brilliant views from the walls, amazing to think how old they are, what an incredible feat of engineering

Old Town of Ston, Croatia – A Hidden Gem with Epic Walls If you're exploring southern Croatia, do not skip Ston. This charming medieval town totally surprised me — in the best way possible. It's quiet, authentic, and has one of the most unique features I've seen in the region: massive stone walls stretching up the hill like something straight out of Game of Thrones. The moment you arrive, the vibe is different. It’s not packed with tourists like Dubrovnik, but it still carries that old-world magic. You walk through narrow streets lined with stone houses, small local shops, and friendly faces. It feels lived-in, not just staged for tourists. But the real star? The Walls of Ston. They’re over 5 kilometers long, snaking dramatically over the hillside, and are often called the "European Wall of China." Hiking them is a must — it’s a bit of a workout, especially on a hot day, but the views are more than worth it. You get sweeping panoramas of the town, the salt pans, and the green landscape all around. Bonus: there’s a calm, peaceful energy here. Sit at a café in the square, order a coffee or some fresh seafood, and just breathe. It’s Croatia without the chaos. Ston feels like a secret that somehow hasn’t been spoiled yet. A place where history, nature, and local life still blend together beautifully. Highly recommended if you want a real, grounded Croatian experience — with some epic walls on top.

Great pit stop between the oysters and the vineyards - a little bakery in the square sells massive cherry filled pastries for 1.5 Euros!!! 😎

We went for Ston to Mali Ston on the wall, there are a lot of stairs, but it was a good workout with nice views.

This particular dot on the map is NOT the entrance to the walls!

The walls are unbelievable and awesome. You can get here with public bus from Dubrovnik.

Nice walk, although a bit challenging. It's one way, so you have to go all the way, and there are A LOT of steps. Don't go if you have a baby stroller or have mobility issues. They have a city parking lot, 1€ per hour. All in all, a sight to behold. Be sure to visit 👍

Great historic site and long walk, luckily you have 2 options the short trail or the long one. No shade, in summer bring water with you and wear hat or cap. The view of the city of Ston is nice.

Gorgeous views over Ston and the Mali Ston fortress. The Wall walk takes approximately 45 minutes one way and costs 10€ or 5€ for children and students. The combined ticket also includes entry to the Fortress in Ston. It may get very hot during the summer day as there's no shade on the way up, consider visiting the site in the evening.

This 'Great Wall of Europe' (5km) in Ston has a fascinating history dating back to 1330 - see Wikipedia page. It is a lovely old town with salt plains too...

Wow, breathtaking views. The walk from Ston to Mali Ston on the walls takes about 45 minutes and it requires some effort, but you are awarded with incredible views. There's a sidewalk between Ston and Mali Ston if you need to come back without going on the walls again.

The Walls of Ston, often called the “European Great Wall of China,” are an impressive fortress system built to protect the town and its historic salt pans. Their length and defensive design resemble the Great Wall of China, offering both stunning views and a fascinating look into Croatia’s history.

These ancient city walls offer a unique and rewarding hike. The climb is intense, with lots of stairs, but the panoramic views from the top make it worth every step. You’ll see the salt flats, surrounding hills, and the historic town of Ston from above.

Fresh oysters are highly recommended. We tried the grilled fresh fish as well. It was very good. We met the owner and he explained the history of Ston and the salt produce.

Not really happy. The food was ok but not perfect. Had an oyster before dinner that was nice, but was charged 15 euro for a small 20cl bottle. Discovered it when we was home and should split the tab with our friends. One of us ordered a non alcohol beer and got a normal one, when they should change it i got it in my knees. Accidents can happen, but won't go back or recommend it to anyone.

Great place to try sea food. Fresh oysters are much cheaper than in the bar right next to it. Excellent view, friendly staff.

I came here for a black beer which was very good (bottle) and ended up seduced into having a dinner of Mussels cooked in garlic which could not be fresher n I have Bakus Ston to compare with. When I say seduced, I had the choice of 3 restaurants as I'm staying here n the other two were more expensive n more fine dining. It's restaurants or go hungry as Mali Ston pop 250 has nothing else. As a solo budget traveller, it was a simple decision. If food is ur priority, you won't be disappointed here. Good people, good food.

Very tasty oysters, really good price. They offered to catch a fish ourselves which was a fun activity.

This place was absolutely amazing. Antonio and his son Marco run it and we couldn't believe how welcoming they were. Antonio was extremely funny and loved taking pics with us. A must do when traveling between Dubrovnik and Split. It's worth making the stop. Yes, the food was top notch.

Probably the best meal I've had in my life. Very homey vibes, the staff are great, welcoming, professional and share their good mood. The place is warm and cozy, with great views. There are fish tanks inside the dining area, so you can be sure the food is fresh. It is not only fresh, but also delicious! With every bite time stops and makes you enjoy the moment. I can't overstate how well the food was prepared. And they even gave us a gift upon departure:) I recommend this place with all my heart, it's the best❤️

Nice restaurant in Ston. Just had some pizza but they were tasty. I only wondered that they don’t serve olive oil for the pizza even if you ask but you can get tabasco. Nice place inside in the shadow. Friendly and attentive service.

We chose Stagnum due to it's high rating and general praises read on the reviews. We were quite looking forward to this meal, though I must be honest and say it wasn't anywhere close to what we expected. Starting with the positives, the location is really nice with its own back garden, giving a really nice setting. We also have a nice waiter who, although forgetting our glass of wine, spoke excellent english and was extremely polite. Now, the negatives. We took a Beefsteak and Green Seafood Pasta. I asked for the beef to be cooked rare, Unfortunately it was just about blue (if not raw) as per photo. This was quite disappointing - understanding this is a fish restaurant, you'd still expect a chef to know how to cook a steak as per clients request. As regards to the Green Seafood Pasta, the pasta was well overcooked, the octopus was chewy (again, overcooked) and the mussels were not cleaned. Moreover, the sauce was full of broken shells. We're not the kind of people who stir an issue up in the middle of other guests dinners; but we do suggest making things clear with them when ordering your food as to ensure that food is cooked well, and to avoid our same disappointment.

We came to this restaurant from Dubrovnik twice. Seafood was great, good portion and fresh. My wife had squid and she said that it was the best. The chocolate lava cake was exquisite! Totally worth the trip from Dubrovnik and the best food we had in Croatia.

Just had a fantastic meal. The ambience, the service and the food was fantastic. We both had beef steak cooked to perfection. The accompanying vegetables and home cooked chips were delicious. But the wine OMG. After we settled the bill we bought a litre of house red (from the family vinyard) to take home as it is absolutely beautiful 😍

We’ve ordered their Chicken soup (that costed €5) expecting a good quality broth. We got an instant noodle soup that tasted terribly, had a small piece of chicken (its captured on the photo) and barely any noodles. We asked to speak to the manager and eventually had an argument about the disgusting, cheapest instant soup you can have. He just said “You shoul’ve asked if its homemade or instant. Every restaurant serves instant soup.” I personally have had many restaurant soups, but they were NEVER INSTANT. Then after 3 minutes of having an argument he left. We went to pay and his mother came out. She started talking ahout how she makes homemade oyster soup and homemade fish soup. And if we’re expecting her to kill chicken to make a homemade soup. Then she proceeded to make a movement signaling “slitting her throat open” when talking about killing the chicken. She said how dare we talk bad about their business. Then she turned around and walked away and then we paid. Even for the instant soup.

The pizza here is something special, because it doesn’t just fill my stomach, it fills my heart too. On top of that, both the seafood and the meat dishes are outstanding and fresh. The staff are truly the best: kind, attentive, and always smiling. This place is more than a restaurant for me, it’s somewhere I know I’ll keep coming back to for the rest of my life.

Great food, reasonable prices, no crowds like in the restaurants down the street

Delicious food and great value! We had the octopus salad, oysters ,seafood risotto, pasta and mussels– all fresh and full of flavor. A nice surprise was the complimentary fish paste with bread, which is not very common in Croatia while you waiting for your food! Friendly service, low prices, and high quality. Highly recommend – best to book a table in advance!

This was my absolute favorite restaurant from a two week trip through Croatia. It was off the beaten path, and although still touristy overcame the plague of burgers and pizzas that plague the menus of most of the restaurants the tourist have access to . Lots of local families were eating here which is a great sign, and there were lots of celebrations going on meaning that it was good enough quality for the locals to enjoy it for special occasions. The food was wholesome and good with fresh ingredients and I’m sure the entire menu is delicious - except perhaps the local desert “pasta cake” which the young waitress tactfully described as something that “somebody might enjoy”.

Recommended by our guide who now knows my preferences. After 8 days of meat and some fish, we decided to have mussels which this place is famous for. We also had black ink squid risotto which seems to be the most popular dish, oyster soup, grilled squid and prawns. Very friendly staff.

Really nice place to eat with love ones, the food is absolutely delightful, good service. Ms. Victoria is really helpful. She deserves a raise 😉. The location is inside the town of Ston, really accessible and absolutely a wonderful experience to have dinner here. Amazing! Will definitely come back here and totally recommendable. It's not pricey too. Bring your friends!

I went here with a group of 14, and our waitress seemed a little miffed and frazzled by such a large group. She ultimately did a good job, but didn’t look too happy when we arrived. The food was very good, though! I started off with fried oysters, and we had others in the group who ordered raw oysters. They were small, but delicious! My shrimp skewers with risotto was cooked perfectly. Overall, a wonderful meal!

The greatest food we had in our trip in Croatia. Very casual atmosphere in the heart of Ston. Whatever you choose from the menu won't be a mistake. Authentic taste, fresh food and nice atmosphere. Definitely recommend!

Great place,Delicious seafood . Menu is extensive and it has something for everyone . The in house White wine was sweet . Server was awesome and spoke good English

Ston is a lovely place to visit to see the small town and the city wall . Car parking was 3 euro per hour , and not very busy

Very well-intact, preserved structure with beautiful views of the town, bay, mountain and its protective walls. Walking those steep walls requires about ten minutes of effort to get to the top, but the trip is worthwhile. Bonus: that ticket includes access to the fort. Ensure you make the trip around to the other side of the mountain to experience a private oyster tasting picnic (oppositethe side of the bay from Mali Ston)!

Tickets for it are part of walls ticket. There is nothing inside the forth - just closed walls. But effort which Ston city puts into historical constructions should be appreciated. Comparing to my visit 8 years ago - now I see difference - they really put efforts to make people enjoy they visit.

Beautiful place found this place by chance by taking a wrong turn. We're planning on visiting Croatia again next year just to go back to see the Fort again

Great historic site to visit. For €10 you can visit both the castle and the wall.

Explore the history of a key historic side with a refreshing hike along the age old fort.

We went to Ston today for the second time to see the museum, the town, and so on, and to have lunch. It would be a great stopover for many motorhome travelers on the way to the south, bringing revenue to the town. Unfortunately, once again we couldn’t find a parking spot. There are plenty of bus parking spaces, which are always about 80% empty, but not a single parking space for motorhomes. Parking on the bus spaces is forbidden for motorhomes unless you pay €10 per hour. The car parking spaces are either full or too tight for motorhomes. Maybe we’ll give it a third try, but most likely next time we’ll just drive past on the main road. It seems they don’t need the money from camper travelers here. Well, then we’ll just spend our money elsewhere – thanks to the municipality of Ston!

Truly amazing place. You can walk around and see a video to fully understand all aspects of what they do and have been doing there for centuries.

The storekeeper was friendly and helpful. The museum was basically only a 10 minute video. The place is certainly good when a salt collection is in operation.

Very friendly and helpful manager at the front. I was passing through Ston and found this to be a really interesting diversion. They have a short 10-minute informational presentation, and apparently this was the first saltworks in Europe and one of the earliest in the world! Entry was 5 euro, I bought some small sacks of salt which were 5 euro each.

Lovely visit. Very kind owner/manager. There is a video you can watch which I found very informative

Really interesting place that still processes seal salt in the original way. The person working was SO friendly, and helped us pick which version of salt to choose. He also showed us a video that explains more about the process. Great souvenirs as everyone can use great salt!

Nice little sightseeing, you can do for a day. S ticket for a wall is a little pricey, bu on the other hand, they invest in reconstruction.

What a joke. 10 euros for 2 people watch a ten minute video and walk around the flat. Look at my picture and save your money

Beautiful expeirence

(Translated by Google) Great canoe rental experience. We were able to walk on Stone Bay and take advantage of the small islands for swimming. I highly recommend!

A nice intimate experience with a beautiful view and friendly staff. Wine and olive oil was excellent.

Family owned award-winning red wines! Must visit and sample! Beautiful views.

Fantastic wine at such a great price! It was an intimate experience with the owner unlike anything previously experienced in larger wine regions of Europe or the United States. He provided background on each wine as well as the history of the region that was much appreciated. Highly recommend to anyone looking to step away from the busy tourist cities and jump into a smaller local town.

Nice family business, very good olive oil, excellent customer service.

We stopped by this winery and it was pre season… the owner was gracious and talked us through their process and allowed us to sample. Was a great stop!! Thank you!

We stopped by this winery on our way to Dubrovnik and it was amazing. We had a tasting of all the wines they had to offer and they were all so great. The owner was so knowledgeable and very friendly. Great experience!

Very nice family driven winery with superior wines and olive oil. A must stop on the peninsula of Pelješac!

5/11/25: Great fresh dishes, service, and ambiance. Perfect after taking the 20 minute (short) “wall” walk.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Restaurant Dardin in Ston. The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared — you can really taste the quality of the ingredients. Every dish we tried was delicious, and it’s clear the kitchen puts real care into everything they serve. What made our visit truly special, though, was the service. Our waiter, Matteo, was outstanding — exceptionally kind, friendly, and attentive from the moment we sat down. He made us feel genuinely welcome and went out of his way to ensure everything was perfect. It’s rare to come across such warm and professional service. If you’re visiting Ston and looking for a fantastic meal in a relaxed and charming setting, Dardin is a must. Highly recommended — we’ll definitely be back!

We had an absolutely fantastic meal at Dardin Restaurant. If you're looking for the freshest, most expertly prepared seafood in Ston, this is the place. The local oysters were unbelievable—truly the salty taste of the Adriatic Sea. For our main course, we had pasta seafood dishes and a caramel desert, and everything was perfectly cooked. The service was prompt and very friendly. The desert was on the house which really topped off the experience. A definite must-visit for anyone craving authentic, high-quality Dalmatian seafood! Highly recommended!

We order beaf steak and tuna fillet , seems that potatoes and salad not included to the main dish price . Tuna fillet steak was delicious

Delicious lunch stop with very reasonable prices! I had the cuttlefish black risotto — my first time trying cuttlefish and it was delicious, risotto was well done.

There's no question it's the best restaurant in Ston. The food was first class; beautifully presented and such good prices. Our Waiter Mateo, not only spoke excellent English, but holds an excellent knowledge of the seafood and local area. His attention to detail was matched by his excellent table service. We eat at a lot of restaurants, and as a former hospitality employee, I recognise an exceptional restaurant. Well done to Matteo and all the staff at Dardin, you made our lunch the best in Croatia. A tip, you must try the Male Ston Oysters: utterly delicious and cheaper at Dardin the other nearby restaurants. We are looking forward to a return visit.

We had a lovely meal at Dardin. The food was very good, we had grilled scampi, grilled shrimp, tuna steak and pizza. All very tasty! The desserts are also excellent, the cheesecake and xhoxolate cake in particular were fabulous. Special thankyou to the waiter Matteo who was very welcoming and helpful, he patiently answered A LOT of questions from us! He made it a very enjoyable meal for us.

Amaizing octopussy and shrimp burgers. Tuna steak burger was perfect. And they are served in buns made of flour and squid ink, with unique cutted potato fries, delicious. Please try, three way oyster plate and tempura prawns, also great 😋

Barba Ston in Ston was a great place to stop for lunch in Ston. The oyster platter was very fresh and flavorful, and both the squid burger and squid ink risotto were surprisingly great—really unique and delicious. We also tried some local wines, which paired well with the seafood. It’s definitely a bit overpriced for the area, but the service was friendly and the quality made it feel worth it. It’s a great place to sit back and enjoy the view. There is a large outdoor patio area and a small indoor sitting area. Accepts cards and cash

Walking around Ston trying to find a place to dine in, we found this place which seemed to exclusively offer fish dishes. The waitress is exceptionally kind and very attentive. We thank her for her outstanding service. The food was also very delicious, all in all it was a nice dinning experience and would certainly recommend

Great place to try seafood. Quality of products and dishes are very high. I ordered tuna menu with fries and grilled vegetables, my husband - octopus salad, oysters and small fish with potato salad. Everything was delicious. Young waitress was very kind and polite. Thank you for conversation. Greetings from Poland!

Excellent tuna and small fish dishes. Execute so well. Had oysters which tasted of the sea... great stuff

Wow is an understatement for how delicious and fresh Barba Ston is. The owner, Mijo, was very gracious and welcoming. A must while you’re in Ston.

We didn’t even make it past the door, so I can’t speak to the food. What I can comment on is the unacceptable treatment we received from the staff. Our adult children went in a few minutes ahead of us to check if a table was available for our party of nine. While waiting, one of my children needed to use the restroom. While my 20-year-old daughter was inside, a staff member tried to force the door open. He then physically removed my 13-year-old from the restaurant. When I arrived shortly after to explain our brief delay, the same staff member yelled at me, saying this was “not a place to use the toilet but to eat.” I clarified that we were there to dine, but he continued to be rude and made both children feel unsafe. This was a disturbing and unprofessional experience that left us feeling completely unwelcome. We left and chose another nearby restaurant instead (natura ston) and the contrast could not have been greater. The staff there were warm, respectful, and made our dining experience truly enjoyable.

Excellent food and excellent service. We tried their burgers, oysters, fresh salad and dessert. Kids loved the food and so did we. Good sized portions. Nice historical location with views of the town and its fortifications. We plan to visit again during the week.

Friendly and professional service is a rare find these days but this place delivers. Food is what I would call reliable and deffinitely not a tourist trap. Proven recipes with local ingredients. I got a recommendation to try chevap :) and actual potatoes cut as pommes frites was a pleasant surprise. Meat was of high quality, but now I regret not having some seafood dish. At first opportunity, I will. (Octopus salad I tasted wasn't enough to create any opinion) Not to forget, home made bread (!) and reasonable prices in comparison. Looking forward to dine here again.

We had a wonderful experience! The dishes were very tasty and well prepared, the service was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere of the place made us feel welcome right away. Definitely worth a visit – 5 stars!

One of the finest vegan burger with very fresh home made style fries we had. Staff was supper friendly and helpful.

"A true Croatian feast that brings land and sea to the table: perfectly grilled tenderloin and ribeye steaks, smoky pork, juicy burgers, and succulent grilled prawns — all served with crispy golden fries and an ice-cold local beer. A hearty, flavorful meal that celebrates tradition and satisfies every craving 🇭🇷🥩🦐🍔🍖🍟🍺"

Luka was the best server with great recommendations. Food was very good and fresh oysters were a great choice.

We had a really good lunch here. We had burgers and pasta, and both were absolutely delicious – some of the best food we've ever had in a restaurant. The staff was also friendly, and the restaurant is well-kept and stylish, decorated with attention to detail. We would go back anytime and definitely recommend a visit!

What an amazing restaurant - shellfish / fish heaven! Well worth travelling to, in a beautiful, serene setting. Very welcoming and super friendly staff. We were looked after by Lea, can’t thank you enough, your hospitality and friendly approach made our experience exceptional. Hope we get to come back again soon.

Absolutely amazing food. Lovely setting. I ventured beyond the fish was greatly surprised; the steak is perfect! Very, very tasty and well served. The Ston cake is a must-try if you’re in the area (it’s sweet although it is made of pasta with nuts; very different than anything else but well worth trying). The experience would’ve been much better if the smokers were contained in a separate area.

Beautiful food and a beautiful view! The food we had was the best we’ve had in Croatia thus far - so fresh, so tasty and wonderful! Big thanks to Matty (Maté) our server who was so kind, attentive and offered great recommendations, bringing out the freshly caught fish for us to peruse and generally being great!

A fantastic place located right on the sea. The waiter's father caught the sea bass that morning. We dined on the 2nd to last day of their 2025 season and we're fortunate to do so. Only negative many smokers nearby.

This place is just so beautiful and genuine! Everything is made with quality: from the food to the service and atmosphere. Located next to the mussels and oyster farms and several children friendly beaches. The water is warmer than the sea. Bith the sea food and the meat is great.

We stumbled upon this restaurant while driving through town and it was the best stop we made! The service was incredible and the environment was so welcoming. There's beautiful views throughout the entire patio area and I truly hope to go back again some day!

Last night we had dinner at the restaurant, and I must say I’m truly impressed. Everything — from the location, service, food, to the atmosphere — was on an incredible level. We highly recommend a visit to anyone who wants to enjoy delicious, fresh seafood in a wonderful place

Beautiful view to Mljet Island, amazing underwater world, nice sandy beach. Parking is 10 EUR per day, all recommendations for small household with local products.

Compared to almost all other rock beaches in the country, this sand beach is like a walking on a pillow. The view is amazing, the sea clear despite the sand, the beach area is a bit crowded but since it's high tourist season that is expected. An overall 8/10 experience

When we arrived, we parked on the roadside, but a man from the parking area told us it’s not allowed, as others would start doing the same. Official parking is €10/day, a fair mid-range price. The beach itself is beautiful, with stunning views and clear water, but the sea was full of thousands of tiny flies, which really spoiled the swimming experience. It gets quite crowded, and unfortunately, not everyone is tidy, some people leave trash behind. Worth visiting for the scenery, but overall the experience was mixed.

Pros: Sandy beach, clear water, close to the main road, but quiet from traffic, the view is great. Cons: Crowded, very few parking places, we barely found 1. The water is really cold beginning of September and after 5 the beach gets shaded since it's located between 2 hills.

Sand beach close to Ston. Next to a camping site, absolutely beautiful, with a very long shallow water, beautiful color and warm water even in early May. Could be cleaner though.

READ BEFORE YOU GO Some locals are ilegally charging tourists for parking. DO NOT PAY. The parking lot is on a private property and owners do not charge for parking, only greedy locals. They do it without receipt. DO NOT PAY. THE BEACH IS AWESOME.

Beautiful beach. One of the best i ever visited. Crystal clear water with amazing colours. Sand is also very nice. Traffic is a bit tight and it's hard to find a parking spot in the afternoon. The beach area and the beach bar could use some financial investment.

Easily 5 of 5 stars. Passed by on the road and made a quick stop and the owner (Ante) took us through the process and we had a fantastic tasting. The only downside was that I was the driver 😉 Good quality and tasting great hospitality 🙏🙏🍷

Chanced upon Marlais Winery by a stroke of luck and guided by good google reviews. We were hosted by Anton was really impressed by his hospitality. We did not make a reservation but he was very kind and friendly to host us. We did a short tasting and was very impressed by the reds and olive wine! Highly recommend to stop by for some local wines

Thank you Ante for spending time with us and sharing about your family's winery and the history. We brought our kids and they were welcomed and got to experience the olive oil tasting too - a very nice touch. The wines were excellent and we look forward to indulging on the two bottles we purchased.

A spontaneous stop turned holiday highlight! On a whim, guided by really good Google Maps reviews, we decided to drop in on Winery Marlais. We threw caution to the wind and arrived with no reservation, a move that could have ended in tragedy (or at least, thirst). But fear not! The legendary owner, Ante, greeted us with open arms and masterfully squeezed us into an ongoing tour. We immediately felt like we'd won the lottery. We were treated to a fascinating journey through the winery's impressive history and got a peek behind the curtain at the magic of winemaking. But let's be honest, we were all eagerly awaiting the main event: the tasting. And what an event it was! It was easily one of the best tasting experiences I've ever had. I had the pleasure of sampling their signature red, Skrapa, across three vintages: 2016, 2015, and 2013. Each one was a showstopper, hands down some of the best red wine I've ever tasted. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, the next vintage would prove me wrong. It was a delicious rollercoaster of excellence. This visit was a true highlight of our vacation and an unforgettable experience for our whole group across three generations. A massive thank you to Ante and the entire team for their incredible hospitality – and a special shout-out to the wonderfully friendly chap from Brisbane whose name we unfortunately didn't catch. You guys are rockstars!

Like many of the reviews we showed up without knowing to make a reservation. The owners mother happened to be walking outside and pointed us in the right direction. The owner was finishing up a tour for another group and was incredibly gracious and welcoming despite our poor planning. He told us all about the family history, explained all of the Croatian wines (which were delicious), gave us olive oil and cheese to try with our tastings, and then walked us around the cellar. We bought a couple of things to bring home and he referred us to the one importer in the US who sells a small selection of his wines.

We stayed at this winery and apartment for almost a week with a group of 8, and it was an unforgettable experience! Ante, the owner, along with his family and all the staff, were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay, making us feel truly welcome. One of the highlights was the wine tour – we got to see the entire process of how their wine is made and hear the fascinating story behind the family and the winery. The wine tasting was also a fantastic experience, and we enjoyed every moment of it. Everything about our stay was very, very, very good, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic and warm experience with amazing wine!

Super friendly host! Shared the history of the winery, types of wine. Came without a reservation, and were welcomed warmly by the owner. Loved the experience and hospitality. Highly recommended!!

Was a fantastic experience. The owner was wonderful.

Really good strong wines. Several options for tasting and the location and facilities are amazing. Really nice view to spend some time and do the wine tasting

Very cool winery and the tour is included with all tastings. The building was very cool, the staff were very knowledgeable, and wine was delicious!

My private guide took me here for a private wine tasting and I tried the premium tasting which consisted of 5 different wines in various grape varieties and vintages. I paid an additional €8 to add on one sweet wine of theirs as well. The olive oil tasting was included as well. The winenary building is modern, minimalist and air conditioned. The gentleman who did the tasting was very friendly and knowledgeable about the wines. I went at my own pace and still water & rice crackers provided during the tasting session. Merchandises can be purchased from this place at the end of the tasting and I took home a bottle of red and a small bottle of their olive oil.

Absolutely beautiful winery, much more modern than the others nearby but also, much more expensive. Still, we had an enjoyable experience on their peaceful patio and particularly enjoyed their rose.

Excellent wines with a beautiful presentation and a wonderful view. Highly recommend!

Really lovely place and wonderful wine tasting experience. A brand new place done with good taste. This family owned place is worth visiting, big recommendation. And yes, wine is also excellent. We bought two bottles to take home.

Visited the week of April 14 in 2025 and spoke with Josep and had a wonderful wine tasting and tour of their beautiful winery. We order several varieties and now looking to order more of their phenomenal Rose!

The food here is OK and reasonably priced, overall nothing special, except for of course (what's in a name) the amazing view over the little bay down below (see pic). Don't come here expecting a brilliant culinary experience but come here to enjoy a nice lunch / dinner with an amazing view.

Gorgeous view, but slow service. Beware of the "Dalmatian ribs" on the English menu. It's a wrong translation, which they admitted after the fact. It was just a flat peace of meat.

The food at Bella Vista is great. Some of the best food I've had in Croatia yet. Definitely try the seafood platter! It's delicious.

Lovely muscles and wine and what a view. Service has to get a mention too everyone was so nice. Must to stop and have some oysters and muscles

Good place to stay for a while. Great for selfies. Do not accept nfc-payments but accept euros at least.

Nice place to stop on the way to Korcula. Beautiful view!

Amazing view, good food, very friendly staff!
