Parnu is the number one seaside destination for Estonians. Sunseekers have come here for years, from Finns to Russian aristocracy. Yet Parnu absorbs their numbers with grace, unlike some other Baltic Sea resorts. Situated in southwest Estonia, just under two hours from the capital, Parnu is an easy stop on the way to Riga. For anyone driving between the Estonian and Latvian capitals, Parnu is the perfect place to break your journey. It's a great idea to slow down and spend a night here.
Estonia's Summer Capital. In summer, Parnu can feel as if Tallinn had moved to the seaside. But this charming historic town has plenty to offer outside of peak season.
Parnu isn't just a beach town. Parnu is a spa resort of international stature, drawing people from around Scandinavia, especially Finland and Sweden. Its spa hotels offer a full range of wellness and relaxation treatments. There is of course the long, almost-white sandy beach with its shallow waters. But the town offers more. We recommend a stroll through the old town district, and visits to its cute cafes. We can certainly provide a private walking tour, but if you're looking to see something special, we recommend a day trip to the island of Kihnu. Although home to only a few hundred people, Kihnu's cultural heritage is completely intact, from its dances to unique games and music, and people still wear folk costume in daily life.

Glowing Reviews from Our Guests
It was so relaxing to know that we were being taken care of, while still being so personal and ""on our own"" instead of with a big group. The worst part was when we were around groups of other Americans that were so demanding and unaware that they were the strangers there.

I would unequivocally and enthusiastically recommend JayWay Travel to anyone looking for a trusted agent to plan their vacation. Fantastic service, excellent value for the money. My husband and I are seasoned global travelers, but we’re also busy professionals, and simply didn’t have the time to plan our own Baltics adventure. We took a leap of faith and outsourced the trip planning to JayWay Travel and we are so happy we did. The trip exceeded our expectations on every front!

This was a Grand Tour in all respects. Great hotels and guides. Flawless execution of travel between cities. We have traveled a lot and your services were the most impressive. The Baltic states were new territory for us and we appreciate the recommendations on which cities to visit beyond the standard stops. All of the hotels were exceptional. Returning to the US has been like returning to a barbarian society. All of the tour guides were exceptional and added great value to the trip.
