Holidays
in the Baltics - Tour Itineraries
An
11 day fly-drive tour featuring Vilnius, featuring Vilnius,
Saaremaa and Tallinn from £850 per person
This more unusual
fly-drive itinerary includes visits to the Curonian
Spit, Ventspils, Saaremaa Island and Haapsalu. You can
experience a ferry crossing in each country, from Klaipeda
to the Curonian Spit, from Ventspils in Latvia to Saaremaa
Island and from Saaremaa to mainland Estonia.
We have based this itinerary on good
three-star hotels and group A car hire. We can also
quote for four/five star hotels and larger cars if required.
This itinerary is available from
the beginning of May to the end of September subject
to the timetable of the Ventspils-Montu ferry. This
is the only ferry ticket we include, as this route operates
less frequently than the Virtsu to Kuivastu crossing
which operates hourly.
