Did you know that Lithuania was the biggest country in Europe in the 14th century?

We will approach the snow-white Užutrakis Manor where your guide will be happy to take some holiday snaps for you.
Next, we will head to a local café, run by a true Karaite to taste Karaite dish, kybyn. As we wait for it to bake, we’ll enjoy a pint of beer and some local snacks.
After lunch, we will let you to explore the town at your own pace for about one hour. If the weather’s nice you may want to go for a paddle or you could do a spot of shopping (amber jewellery can be a bargain here).
