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.

After a long day spent enjoying sights around town, why not enjoy the evening having dinner at one finest eateries? Look for traditional dalmatians pizza made using dough freshly prepared every morning, plus an array of dishes inspired by Mediterranean cuisine accompanied by a glass of excellent wine from nearby vineyards. 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.

As far as climate goes, you will find mild Mediterranean weather perfect for outdoor activities yet comfortable and enjoyable indoors, whether swimming at sandy beaches or engaging tours patronizing spots abuzz with activity. So whatever visitors seek here, chances are excellent; they get it thanks to so many unmissable activities that accommodate every imaginable preference.
