On the shores of the Baltic Sea lies the oldest city in Lithuania, complete with legends and fables. Visit museums and quaint fishing villages, admire beautiful weathervanes and Thomas Mann’s home. Head for the UNESCO Curonian Spit and get back to basics in Nida, bird watch in Kretinga and stand tall on Europe’s highest sand dunes. Breathe deep in a relaxing sauna to rejuvenate body and soul before tasting dried and smoked fish with sides of potato. And as you slowly sip Lithuanian beer, you’ll go with the flow hearing sober soviet history and fascinating Baltic tales of fairies. Described as a shining water land, feel safe in the knowledge that Klaipėda’s own mermaid protects her city from danger, whilst the River Dangė provides strength.
