People are more fond of the biggest islands in Estonia - Saaremaa; Muhu, which is between Saaremaa and the mainland; Abruka - right next to Saaremaa; Ruhnu - a solitary piece of land in the Gulf of Riga; and an island furthest to the West, Vilsandi. One can take a ferry from the mainland to get to Muhu and drive on to Saaremaa via a road on a dyke that has connected the two islands for over a hundred years. Abruka can be accessed by small ferries through Saaremaa; Ruhnu, also by ferry in summer or even by a plane at times; to Vilsandi, by boat or, in the times of low water, walk or ride in the back of a truck with a friendly driver.

The best fish on the island are the smoked eels and flatfish, but you should also try the Baltic herring, sprat or herring that the locals still love. Also, look for codfish, salmon, trout and garfish, also called the “poor man’s eel”.
