Summer will soon be upon us which means now is the time to start planning holiday getaways. Estonia is the prefect summertime destination for those who want to avoid crowds and enjoy comfortable sunny weather that rarely exceeds 25°C. The 'white nights' (19 hours of daylight) enable you to do more during your day. Estonia offers the perfect mix of vibrant, open-air culture in cities like Tallinn and Tartu and relaxing beach getaways in coastal areas such as Pärnu and Saaremaa.
Ilus Eesti, beautiful Estonia. My family's homeland. Estonia's countryside and people have an endearing gentleness about them which you fall in love with slowly and imperceptibly. I have nothing but respect and admiration for Estonians' courage and determination to survive despite centuries of repression, tyranny and foreign occupation. This blog aims to promote Estonian news, history and culture and seeks to enlighten readers about everything this unique country has to offer.
