Skywalk Biokovo is 1228 meters above sea level and offers spectacular views of the Adriatic sea and islands. The whole construction is made of glass and provides a unique experience (if you are not a fan of heights, maybe you could pass this one?). It is possible even to see Italy in the distance in the sunny and windy ways!
