Split to Dubrovnik, with lunch in Ston
Since the Pelješac Bridge opened, the road from Split to Dubrovnik stays in Croatia the whole way. It also goes straight through Ston, which makes it an easy place to break the journey.
The drive alone takes around three and a half hours. With a stop in Ston, plan on most of the day, with your luggage in the car the whole time.

The stops
Pelješac Bridge
The bridge carries the road from the mainland across to the Pelješac peninsula, high above the bay. No need to stop; the view is best from the car.
Ston
The walls of Ston run up the hill behind the town and once guarded its salt pans, which are still worked. A walk along the walls takes about an hour.
Mali Ston
A small harbour a few minutes from Ston, with restaurants serving oysters and mussels farmed in the bay. A good place for lunch.
Dubrovnik
About an hour more to your accommodation. The old town is closed to cars, so the drop-off is at the nearest gate or road.
Good to know
Tell Alen how long you want in Ston, and mention any table you have booked. The stop and waiting are charged on top of the transfer, and the price comes back in the reply before you book.
