Congrads to my home island - Hiiumaa!
by Heidi K.
Hiiumaa was claimed to be one of the 15 best European islands for travel snobs. And the best thing about it was, that it the article was illustrated with the picture of my home village and childhood beach.
"This is an extraordinary island in the Baltic Sea, which has unspoilt landscapes, unusual flora and fauna and very friendly locals. There are more than 200 islands, which are covered with forests and greenery. Tahkuna and the Kõpu Peninsula have long, beautiful sandy beaches where you can spend the day relaxing.
If you want more than restaurants or beaches then Kõpu Lighthouse is the most famous tourist sight and is known as the symbol of the island, then there is the Tahkuna Lighthouse which was made in Paris in 1874 or the Mihkli Farmhouse Museum where you can have a picnic with a smoke sauna!"
