Selling Points of Estonian Spa and Wellness Tourism
Posted by alibabarika in Estonia Articles on July 7, 2011
“Recently I had to explain to a British tourism expert, why is it worth to take a spa-vacation in Estonia. She had been to Estonia before and therefore knew Estonian life in general. But she was extremely surprised when I told her that Estonia has almost 200 years of health and spa tourism experience. And when she heard about our price-level and different opportunities of treatments and services, she was totally speechless. After recovering from my praising speech, she asked me why don’t we promote local spa services and opportunities…”
This is a story from Sabina Kaukis, a spa blogger in Estonia.

Baltic tours can offer the perfect way of seeing some of the most interesting countries in eastern Europe. This week we continue our journey through the region from the Lithuanian city of Klaipeda.
Klaipeda has much to see as it used to be part of Germany and has a history stretching back several centuries.
Cruising Scandinavia and Baltics
Posted by alibabarika in Estonia Articles on December 26, 2010
For all winter travelers… I must say this is not for you. For the rest and main part of you that are used to travel during the summer, this is certainly your place. My proposal is to discuss a bit about the possibilities we have when it comes to plan a cruise within Northern Europe, as the options are many but the real deals are hiding (and written in Swedish, in fact!)
Let’s get started. First of all, let me define northern Europe: Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark are considered to be Scandinavia while Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are called the Baltic countries. I want to put them apart as I understand that each group fits different traveler dreams. While Scandinavia fits into the so much called “model for Europe” countries, specially when it comes to welfare state, security, cleanliness and general economic standards of living, the Baltic region is in the process to get developed. Too many years under Russian influence (with all my respects for Russia) and too few within the scope of the European Union.
Value Luxury Hotels in Tallinn
Posted by alibabarika in Estonia Articles on December 26, 2010
Tallinn is one of the oldest cities of Estonia. Tallinn, Estonia was under the German rule and was called Reval. Then later after Estonia got its independence in 1920 the spelling of the city Tallinna was changed to Tallinn. This city was found about 5000 years ago and has a lot of history embedded in it.
Tallinn is a beautiful holiday spot and the region is filled with places to explore and fascinate about. Tallinn looks like a fairy tale with its high towers and castle like structures. There are several luxurious hotels which make the stay even more enjoyable. Some of the places that must be visited are Toompea, Lower town, Kadriorg and Pirita. Although Tallinn is a small part of Estonia it is a major tourist spot. It generates a large source of income from the tourists. There a large number of luxury hotels that are located in such a way that they overlook the sea. Wine and liquor is an integral part of things here. The sea food is another specialty of this place. The streets are long and narrow filled with quaint shops. You can find many designer clothing stores here which are simply exquisite and worth every penny. The road side cafes are another exquisite Tallinn touch. There are several night clubs and pubs that keep this historic city awake even in the night. The art museum is a treat for the eyes and the spa is a treat for your body. Bored of roaming the city? Just go Tee off at the excellent golf course for a day.
