Ferry to Latvia

Wedged between Estonia and Lithuania, Latvia is one of the three Baltic Nations, nestled in the northeast corner of mainland Europe.

Since ancient times, Latvia has been a well-known trading post, earning recognition from empires as far as Rome and Greece for cultivating amber, which was then more valuable than gold. As a result, Latvia has long been a melting-pot of nationalities, attracting foreign visitors and workers from around Europe. Additionally, gaining independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, it then flourished economically, while leaving behind separate geographical regions, all with different social attitudes and cultural disparities, making Latvia even more exciting to explore today.

A trip to Latvia means getting close to nature; it has the fifth highest proportion of land covered by forest in the European Union, almost thirteen thousand rivers, four national parks and over thirty thousand species of wildlife and plants. Unsurprisingly, then, it’s popular for cycling and hiking holidays, and the relatively short coastline has some gems for beaches, with the best silver stretches of sand to be found outside the capital, Riga, and by the resort town of Jurmala.

Latvia’s shining light, however, is the capital city. Set upon the Daugava River, close to the Baltic Sea, the cosmopolitan Riga oozes art nouveau, with facades decorated with intricate carvings of mythological creatures and a picturesque skyline primarily of Gothic spires. Famous for its UNESCO World Heritage Site listed Old Town, the city itself has been shaped by over eight hundred years of history, all while boasting modern art centres, trendy bars and innovative restaurants. Riga is also widely acknowledged as the birthplace of the Christmas tree, with some accounts dated back to the 1500s, meaning the city becomes even more striking during the festive season.

Ferries traverse the Baltic Sea to a few ports on the Latvian coast, including the capital and a couple of port towns further west. With regular ferry routes from a couple of destinations in Sweden, it’s easy to reach Latvia from the Scandinavian Peninsula, while the slightly less frequent crossings from northeast Germany make it accessible from mainland Europe.

A crossroad throughout history for Mediterranean cultures, Sicily has long captivated visitors with its rich heritage and bountiful ancient structures. A sizeable chunk of the European history books has focussed on Sicily, culminating in the numerous attractions we admire today: seven Doric-style Greek temples, beautiful Byzantine mosaics, Arab domes and arches in Palermo, and ruinous Norman castles scattered throughout the island. In fact, walking through Sicily feels like an open-air museum; it’s worth noting, however, Sicilian temperatures truly soar during the summer, so it’s best to visit during the shoulder months.

With a landscape as varied as the culture, Sicily satisfies both historians and nature-lovers in equal measure. Commanding the island is Mount Etna, the tallest active volcano in Europe, within the city of Catania, offering skiing during winter and excellent hiking in summer. More idyllic backdrops can be found along the coastline: pristine beaches, offshore islets with crystalline waters, and picturesque bays, most notably the Golfo di Castellamere. The salt flats in Trapani also make for fascinating viewing, as does the world’s largest astronomical clock in the Museum of Messina.

Living within an autonomous region of Italy, the inhabitants are a proud people, speaking in Sicilian and serving an exotic cuisine utilising a few fundamental, island-grown ingredients with dashes of Spanish and Arabic flavours. A typical local shopping list would include citrus fruits, shellfish, pistachios and almonds, while the most popular seafood dishes normally contain tuna and swordfish. Moreover, Italy’s finest dessert-makers usually hail from Sicily, and their most well-known export, cannoli, is loved the world over.

Sailing to Sicily by ferry is a popular choice for most visitors, given its proximity to many Mediterranean destinations and large selection of ports around the entire coast, allowing you to visit all the main cities with ease. The majority of routes are from cities on the west coast of Italy and surrounding offshore archipelagos and islets, while regular international crossings are also available from North Africa and Malta.

Each of the islands has a special mix of awe-inspiring scenery, culture and history. As you would expect, Jersey and Guernsey are the main destinations for those hoping to enjoy a short break as well as people looking for a longer holiday.

Jersey has a history that spans more than a millennium and ownership of the island has changed between the French and the British many times. This has led to a blend of cultures that makes it a truly unique place.

Key attractions on the island include the Elizabeth Castle, a 16th century fortress that stands on an islet and can only be accessed on foot when the tide is out; and the Jersey War Tunnels, an underground hospital and tunnel network constructed during the Nazi occupation that now serves as a museum.

Guernsey's major attractions include La Vallette Underground Military Museum, another subterranean German complex; and Hauteville House, the residence of the famous French writer Victor Hugo during the time he was exiled from his home country.

While being much smaller than Jersey and Guernsey, Alderney also has much to see and do, including an island museum and the Alderney Rail road.
