The surface of the Baltics has been scratched with city breaks to Tallinn, Riga & Vilnius, but our aim is to get people beyond the capital cities... these countries are perfect for - family holidays - spa breaks - castles & manors - country cottages - self-drive - active holidays...
And for those looking for more eastern European experience than you can shake a hammer and sickle at, we arrange tailor-made travel to Belarus and Kaliningrad – by far the quirkiest destinations in Europe!
Belarus – visit Minsk, the most Soviet city in the world, or explore the sleepy wooden villages and medieval fortresses of rural Belarus.
Kaliningrad – a cold war air hangs over the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad, visit a closed military city, crawl through a Soviet submarine, witness the stark Soviet architecture, and contrast all of this with the unadulterated beauty of the Curonian Spit and the pretty coastal resorts.
Lithuania – pine trees, rolling landscapes, spectacular sand dunes, fishing villages, summer seaside party towns, traditional rural life, unique sights, spa towns, pagan festivals, Vilnius the Baroque beauty, friendly and unassuming locals, a multitude of outdoor activities, bbqs, saunas, beer by the lake,… actually this is making us want to move our office out to Lithuania.
Latvia – life for many Latvians revolves around the vibrant city of Riga, leaving a beautiful unspoilt country just waiting for us to explore; take spa treatments in the footsteps of Brezhnev and his cronies (same masseur not guaranteed), enjoy some pagan rituals at midsummer, take a ride on a former USSR bobsleigh training track, visit Mark Rothko’s hometown and museum, take a regal trip through Latvia staying in our castles and stately manor houses.
Estonia – imagine medieval meets modern technology, a top notch 4* spa hotel next to a medieval castle on a pretty rural island, a quaint cobbled old town hides contemporary chic cellar restaurants, beautiful restored manor houses offering modern comforts with time-honoured elegance, unspoilt national parks with all the latest outdoor activities; adrenalin rush or peaceful time-out…
