Baltic Visitor

Tourists considering a visit to Estonia and looking beyond the capital may want to read an article on the website of the Finnish magazine Free! The gist of John Pagni’s piece is that the islands of Saaremaa, Muhu and Abruka are attractive not for their tourist facilities but for the lack of them:

For what they haven’t got, not for what they have. The simple life can be the good life.

It’s an entertaining piece, reveling in idiosyncracies such as ‘the world’s smallest public library’ on Abruka, which captures the charm of the three islands.
