Ston also has the oldest salt panes in Europe from 14th century, still operating today. Guests can buy small souvenir packages of salt, and for the seafood lovers, locals are producing famous Ston oysters there. So it&#8217;s a full package out of the blue, just few miles before Dubrovnik!<\/p>\n<p><b>What is your\u00a0favorite\u00a0place to take guests?<br \/>\n<\/b>Taking them to sit in a wooden &#8216;pletna&#8217; boat, with the owner rowing, in the middle of a quiet and pristine Alpine Lake Bled, on the way to Slovenia&#8217;s only island, with a beautiful baroque church and a wishing bell located on top of it.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2258\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2258\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2013\/08\/lake-bled_slovenia.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2258\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2013\/08\/lake-bled_slovenia.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"Lake Bled, Slovenia\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2258\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lake Bled, Slovenia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b>What is your most memorable &#8216;on the road&#8217; moment?<br \/>\n<\/b>A few years ago I was the Travel Director for a group of wine enthusiasts from one of the most famous Californian wine producers. Their most famous wine is Zinfandel and only recently they realized that it originates from Croatian coastal region of Dalmatia. After a difficult drive through the Mediterranean countryside near the city of Split, we were finally able to find this authentic vineyard, where Plavac Mali grapes, a cross between Zinfandel and Dobri\u010di\u0107 grapes, grow in a beautiful vineyard surrounded by maquis, a medieval chapel and a view to the fascinating Dalmatian islands. It really was a unique moment, which I will never forget.<\/p>\n<p><b>What vacation photo would you recommend our guests have to take?<br \/>\n<\/b>The Saint Stephen islet in Montenegro from a vantage point just above.
