Off the west coast there are two large islands, Saaremaa and Hiiumaa, and two smaller ones Muhu and Vormsi. Islands are always exciting places to visit because they require a boat trip and the sight of the island drawing nearer as you bob up and down on deck.
Hiiumaa is perfect for a getaway-from-it-all wilderness - there is really not much there at all- and Saaremaa is famed in the country for its wooden windmills and quaint thatched cottages. It too also has a well kept castle to offer any visitor that crosses the water.
