Lithuania
Palanga
Baltic beach town where amber washes ashore and pine forests meet endless dunes.
amber-scattered shores
Palanga stretches along Lithuania's coast like a seaside postcard from another era, where wooden villas peek through pine groves and the Baltic's moody waters deposit prehistoric amber on sandy shores. The pace here follows the rhythm of waves—unhurried mornings in salt air, afternoons spent combing beaches for golden treasures, evenings when the pier extends into silver twilight.
