Travelling in Lithuania
Lithuania is a
rich country, rich in its variety of landscapes, forests, picturesque
coastlines, lakes, lagoons, historical cities and villages and a by being a
melting pot of nations through centuries.
And high above all laughs a Nordic sky - the very reason for the
homesickness of so many Lithuanian emigrants all over the world.
As manyfold as the country and its people are the
ways to discover them:
By bike:
The most rewarding and relaxing way of travelling
in the Baltic states is probably by bike. There are so many tracks and small
roads in the planes and slightly hilly landscapes. Every year, many bikers
come to our house, knowing us as experienced and dedicated bikers ourselves.
People arriving in their own cars may prefer to
bring along their own bikes or rent some from us.
For groups of up to 15 participants, cousins of Antanas offer guided bike
tours. They frequently combine biking with traveling by boat in the delta of
river Memel and over the Curonian Lagoon.
From the endless range of possible tours we have selected proposals for one
and for two weeks that may give you some hints and incentives in your
planning.

several One-Day-Trips, in part by bike from Klaipeda, in part starting to

after a short ride by car. Klaipeda offers a vast variety of outings and
one-day-trips.
By car or motorbike
The metwork of
roads and highways is comparatively well developed. The East-West highway
allows cruising at high speed. Smaller roads are not tarred, inviting for a
slow pace.
Along the roads, there is a variety of hotels, BandB and restaurants.
Camping sites are used mainly by bikers and kayak tourists and simpler than
in central Europe. There are many efforts to improve hygienic standards in
the next few years.
by Public Transport
Trains, busses and an armada of mini-busses reach all towns and even the
remotest of villages in the Baltic States. Backpackers know them as an
economic and reliable way of transport.
Our house is 10 min of walk from the Central Station and we can bring and
fetch you by car as well.
