Overview:
For a great coastal holiday, relax in a lovely seaside villa or guest house on one of Earth's natural wonders, the Curonian Spit. This unique, narrow sand peninsula, 60 miles long, divides the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea. You'll find some spectacular dunes, fragrant pine forests, countless varieties of birds and quiet fishing villages, such as Nida. Sailing, cycling and fishing are among the many activities enjoyed in the region.
Holiday price is from £675 per person based on availability and 2 persons sharing a standard double or twin room.

Tour Itinerary:
If you prefer more privacy, then a self - catering apartment or villa may suit you better. We can suggest an apartment in Nida that sleeps up to ten and is modestly priced at £785 per week during the summer months. We can also help arrange flights and car hire, as well as activities such as sailing or bicycle hire.
Getting There:
- Fly from London Heathrow to Palanga on Scandinavian Airlines. The advantage is that you only have a 1 hour drive to Nida from Palanga airport. However, you do have a short stopover in Copenhagen.
- Fly from Stansted or Liverpool to Kaunas on Ryanair. The advantage is direct flights, but you are still about a four hour drive from Nida.
- Fly from London Gatwick to Vilnius with Lithuanian Airlines or Air Baltic. The advatage is that these flights operate daily and there is a lot to see in Vilnius. Have a look at our suggested City and Coast itinerary. The disadvatage is that it takes about 5 hours to drive from Vilnius to Nida.
Package Includes:
- Direct return flights from Lodon Luton to Palanga
- 1 piece of check-in luggage per traveler (up to 20 kg)
- 7 days car hire in Palanga
- 7 nights' accommodation in a guest house in Nida

The lines shown give you an indication of our destinations and are not the exact route used.
Car Rental
You can rent a car, as long as you have a valid EU or international driver's license. Most cars will have manual transmission.
Transportation
Railway mostly serves domestic routes and is used as an easy and quick way to get from the capital to major cities of the country. There are some international routes, like to Moscow and St. Petersburg, but time spent on the way will be quite long.
Buses are one of the most convenient ways to travel between the Baltic States. Eurolines will get you between Riga, Vilnius and Tallinn. One way tickets will cost £ 15 - £ 20 and approximate travel time is 5 hours between the cities. Ticket reservations in advance are recommended.
Taxis are the quickest and most convenient way of travelling round the city. You'll find them located close to the main hotels. Usually it's quite easy to catch a taxi on the street, however, it's much better and safer to order one by phone. Taxi costs in all of the Baltic countries and Poland are approximately the same and a ride in the centre of the city will cost you approx £ 5 - £ 7. Taxis in Finland and Russia are considerably more expensive. It is always a good idea to get your hotel to book a taxi for you and ask approximately how much the trip will cost before you get in.
We would not recommend you to take public transportation within the city, as it's usually crowded and it may cause you unnecessary anxiety about where to stop.
