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!

We are sure you would not want to pass on the shopping opportunities from fresh produce markets selling aromas of local fruits & vegetables or souvenir shops full of handmade crafts & memorabilia to take home with you and remember Croatia on the winter days.

Don't miss to order traditional dalmatian food such as peka (slow-cooked octopus or veal under a so-called bell covered in hot embers – you'll thank us later ?).

For those wanting a party vibe, find plenty of bars located yards away from the harbor front playing the latest music tunes until late at night, turning into a small dancefloor whenever holidays come around the corner.
