The northernmost of the three countries located on the eastern shores of the Baltic Sea, Estonia is a land of great beauty, covered with forests and meadows and encompassing about 1 500 islands and lakes. Estonia's rich history has left it with a wealth of tourist attractions: castles, church, fortresses, and ancient Estonian hill forts and stone tombs.

A small, cosy country nestled between its neighbours Estonia and Lithuania on the Baltic Sea, Latvia is a country whose picturesque towns and ancient cities are set within a landscape of plains, lakes, forests and river valleys, and where fishing villages interrupt the dramatic coastline that is interspersed with white sandy beaches. The country has numerous manor houses, medieval castles, photogenic palaces and ruins, and Riga, the beautiful capital, is rich in history and culture, boasting the best concentration of Art Nouveau buildings in Europe.

Lithuania is a small plot of land at the Baltic Sea. The whole west fringe of the country (appr. 100 km) is occupied by the amber coastline with marvelous beaches of white sand. Clean waters of Sesupe, Dubysa, Nevezis and Nemunas flow. It is a country of gently rolling hills, many forests, rivers and streams, and deep clear lakes. Lithuanian culture represents a synthesis of ancient traditions, Christianity, and Western modernism.
