I came across Ston by accident really. I was holidaying in the area and searched the WHS list and tentative list for any interesting sites nearby and so I "discovered" …

If you're staying on the Istrian coast then an excursion to Motovun (30-40 minutes away) makes for an enjoyable couple of hours. My suggestion would be look for a few …

Gorge of Samaria National Park (On tentative list)
