3. TRAKAI

Trakai

@vasare

Trakai is one of the most visited cities in Lithuania, especially in the summer season. Why is it so special? The reason for its exclusiveness is the medieval castle on the island in the heart of the city Trakai. Another reason is that the ethnic group of Karaim's (in lithuanian "Karaimai") minority still lives in Trakai, which makes its own traditional dish - Kibinai. You must try them while being in there.

Kėdainiai, a small town with a very beautiful old town and main street. This city is famous for its cucumbers. Therefore, upon arrival, you can even find cucumber ice cream in cafes. I tasted it, it's very tasty! It is worth coming and spending half a day or at least a few hours in this town because it is geographically very convenient - it is only 50 km away from Kaunas.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Vasarė Kėsaitė

Available for hire

I’m Vasare from Lithuania. I have traveled a lot with my parents since childhood. I also attended dances, with which I also had to travel around the world quite a bit. When I grew up, I started to be interested in how everything works in travel planning, because I wanted to travel on my own. Now it is an integral part of my life. I almost always spend most of what I earn on travel. ✈️ 🧳 I think travel is the only thing we buy that makes us richer💰 For this reason, I really want to help people see the world. I myself am from a small country, Lithuania🇱🇹. When I travel and people ask me where I'm from, most people don't know my hometown, they only understand when I describe neighboring countries, such as Poland 🇵🇱 Latvia🇱🇻. For this reason, organizing a trip to my native country and seeing its beauty, architecture, cuisine, would be a pleasure for me. Because we are a small country, but we definitely have something to offer. I like to travel with friends, family or just with a couple. Whenever I travel with friends, I am responsible for the entire trip - from buying the plane tickets to the restaurants we will go to for dinner. I am very responsible and take what I do very seriously. 🗺️ Therefore, feel free to contact me for anything and I will be happy to answer and help you. "Love is the food of life, travel is the dessert"🌍❤️
