We were delighted with this day trip, both for the beauty of the site and for the quality of the local guide, who was not only a very good driver but also a very good storyteller and introduced us to the many facets of this unspoilt place where he has lived since childhood.
Sampling of life on the Curonian Spit.

The trip was well organized and covered the key sites in the Curonian Spit. Lunchtime was a little rushed, but otherwise all good.
