Estonia is a beautiful country that will delight tourists with a relaxing holiday on the shores of the Baltic Sea or one of the lakes, which are more than enough. The acquisition of the tour to Estonia is an event that has a number of extremely positive moments. First of all, for the geographical proximity of the country. This is the surest sign that the road to rest does not take too much time. In most major cities of the country they speak Russian, so you can immediately forget about the problems with communication. Actually, this attracts our compatriots in view of the absence of a language barrier. In addition, the service is beyond praise. It is noteworthy that despite its small size, the country is strewn with sights along and across.
Rest in Estonia will be successful if you go on tour, armed. So, it would be nice to lean about the climatic features of the country. It's good that you have us, who will tell you about this. In the west of the country, the air temperature is slightly higher, in comparison with the south-west. The winter period is characterized by a mild temperature regime and an abundance of snow.

But all the same: in summer the thermometer often shows thirty degrees, and in January no more than seven degrees of frost.
A visit to any country is not complete without tasting its national products. Estonian cuisine consists of products familiar to us, namely: vegetables, meat, fish. An integral part of the tasting of the kitchen is the opportunity to try out the desserts that the Estonians like. They are very fond of baking (donuts, cakes, pastries), which the tourist can buy at a very pleasant price. I would also like to mention locally produced chocolate. It is unusually tasty and has original additives: cranberries, marzipan, mint, liquor and others. From alcoholic drinks from Estonians popular beer and traditional liquor - Vana Tallin.

As the sources say, the Baltic waters are hidden by more than forty thousand wrecked ships. Experienced divers like to explore the ferry "Estonia", which went to the bottom in 1994. In addition, you can dive into the abyss of lakes, although the visibility there is worse, in comparison with the sea, but it is very exciting to look at the fish. Lake Rummu enjoys success among fans of extreme sports. There used to be a quarry and a prison, eventually it went to the bottom, and the waters of the lake reliably hide the former cells. In these places, you should be careful and dive only in the company of an experienced guide.
