This island is the most beautiful part of Estonia for me. you can find places there rich on history like its medieval capital of Kuressaare and classy villages with wooden wind mills. the coast

in the western part of the island, there is a national park. you can hike there crossing the sea, carrying your stuff above your head. still, you should watch out for boats passing. if you don’t feel like hiking you can take a water taxi. the island of Vilsandi is a hidden paradise with amazing sceneries of sandy beaches, long grass and forests. you can walk through the island by taking the path leading to the light house, passing broken mills. it felt we were the only people on the whole island.

camping is a good choice on Saaremaa and as Estonians love sauna, you can usually find a sauna at a camp site.

Things I recommend in Saaremaa

• Vilsandi island
• Kuressaare

and if you have more time
