Saaremaa, kas no igauņu valodas tulkojumā nozīmē "salu zeme" ir kā neizskaidrojams magnēts, kas ik vasaru pievelk ne tikai daudzus Latvijas, bet arī ārvalstu ceļotājus. Neparastais ar salām izraibinātais un zilais jūras klajs, savdabīgās kadiķu pļavas - alvāri, seni, neredzētas formas Dievnami, Baltijas tautām nozīmīgi vēstures pieminekļi - pilskalni, pils, nepieredzēta sugu, īpaši - putnu bagātība, vējdzirnavas, Eiropas iespaidīgākais meteorīta krāteris, senie zvejnieku ciemi ar salenieku parašām un īpatnībām - tās ir tikai dažas salas iezīmes. Salas galvaspilsēta - Kuressaare ir viena no skaistākajām Igaunijas mazpilsētām ar senu rātsnamu un rātslaukumu un vienu no iespaidīgākajām viduslaiku pilīm Baltijā, kurai pēc izskata nav līdzīgu. Kuressaare vērts pasēdēt kādā no pilsētas krodziņiem. Saaremaa salā ceļotāji tiek gaidīti vienmēr, par ko liecina labi pārdomātā un kvalitatīvā tūrisma infrastruktūra. Sala ir īsta paradīze ne tikai mierīgas atpūtas meklētājiem, bet arī visa veida aktīvās atpūtas piekritējiem - kājāmgājējiem, velobraucējiem, jūras viļņu vagotājiem un dabas vērotājiem! |
