Lithuania has the smallest coastline of the Baltic countries, but what a coastline it is! Here you will find some of the region's most unique and stunning areas of coastal beauty. The Curonian Spit is the ultimate holiday destination for those looking for peace and quiet. Long stretches of white sandy beaches backed by some of the highest sand dunes in Europe, flanked on one side by the Curonian lagoon and on the other, the Baltic Sea. Pretty fishing villages with their colourful wooden houses and flower displays, are hidden by the surrounding pine trees and make ideal places to stay for rest and relaxation. This is a nature lovers paradise, where moose, wild boar and foxes roam the forests.

If you're looking for a more lively seaside holiday, then look no further than Palanga on the Lithuanian mainland. Palanga is the summer capital of Lithuania, popular with the young for the social scene and with families for the vast array of activities on offer. The best thing about Palanga is that it is lively with bars, cafes and restaurants and lots of entertainment - but it's Lithuanian through and through. This is not Brits abroad, this is not Ibiza! You may well be the only westerners in town, but you will get by just fine in English. Palanga has the same white sandy beaches and pine trees as the Curonian Spit, and Palanga too has its quiet corners, but ultimately Palanga epitomises holiday fun!
