Day 5 - Parnu to Saaremaa

Parnu To Saaremaa (With Sightseeing On Muhu) Private Transfer

Our driver-guide will pick you up from your hotel and drive you (via the ferry) to Saaremaa Island. On the way, you will be shown some of the highlights of Muhu Island including Muhu ethnographic museum and enjoy lunch at a local restaurant (food and drink not included). Saaremaa is the largest of the Estonian islands, but it is still a small, charming rural retreat well worth the journey to simply feel like you have escaped modern life and all its trappings. Well almost all, as this is Estonia even remote islands are hi-tech. During Soviet times travel on Saaremaa was restricted for 'mainland' Estonians (nevermind Western travellers) due to the radar system and rocket base stationed there - resulting in very little development on the island. Today Saaremaa has retained its rural charm, and visitors can glimpse an image of 'old' Estonia, treasured by locals and foreigners alike.
