Dubrovnik to Korčula, with Ston on the way
By road, Korčula is reached along the Pelješac peninsula to Orebić, then by a short ferry over the channel. It is a pleasant drive, and Ston is right at the start of it.
Further along, the road passes the villages where Plavac Mali is grown. If you would like to stop at a winery, say so in your enquiry.
