Lithuania's must-see sights

Book your tickets with Aegean Airlines and discover a country in a class of its own with unequalled architectural monuments and unexpected natural beauty.

• Eclectic, unusual and atmospheric, Vilnius is a modern capital that hosts the largest Baroque Old City in Europe and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The historical centre is a paradise for hikers, full of cobbled lanes, secret gardens, arched arcades, many old churches and important museums. The famous Bohemian arts district of Uzupis, known as the Montmartre of Vilnius, is also located here.
• Quite near the capital is the small tourist resort of Trakai, home of Lithuania's Historical National Park. One of the more popular destinations, it combines an enchanting cluster of lakes with lessons in Lithuanian history. One of the islands in Lake Galvė is dominated by the impressive 14th century Gothic castle/museum, which relates the story of the country's medieval rulers.
• Built at the confluence of the rivers Neman and Neris, Kaunas is the second-largest city of Lithuania. It is particularly charming, with a rich architectural heritage. It is worth visiting the Town Hall Square, with the exquisite Baroque façades, and the avenue with the merchants' pastel stucco houses of the 15th and 16th centuries.

Trip ideas in Lithuania

The Lithuanian hinterland features historical towns and areas of unique natural beauty.

• The Curonian Spit is known as the "Sahara of Lithuania" because of its dunes. This narrow strip of land extends from the Russian city of Kaliningrad to the historical harbour city of Klaipèda. Full of natural sand dunes, thick pine forests, idyllic white sandy beaches and magnificent ethnographic villages, it is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
• Travelling about 10 miles north of Šiauliai, you will come across the unique Hill of Crosses, known as the "Mecca of Lithuania". It has been a place of worship and a shrine for centuries and features a hill covered with thousands of crosses of all sizes and styles. It is worth seeing these masterpieces of folk art accompanied by sacred messages and personal dedications, the sight of which surpasses anything imaginable.

The ideal time of year to enjoy the enchanting countryside of Lithuania and visits to the cities is in late spring and summer. Book your tickets with Aegean Airlines and lose yourself in the magic of a country with an authentic revolutionary spirit and a Mediterranean heart.
