Travel Advisor Recommendations
“Even though Latvia and Estonia are close neighbors with some similarities in architecture, history and traditions, they also differ in many ways. Exploring both countries on the same trip, you will see the difference in landscape, religion, architecture, language and history. One of the most unique sites in Estonia, unlike any other in the Baltics, is Rummu Quarry. It was a limestone mining site, later turned into prison and in recent years submerged by water creating an almost apocalyptic scene. Scuba divers are welcome here too.” – says Aliona Giric, Manager of DMC Operations at Estravel.
