First settlement in Sventoji is known as far as 5000 years back. As a port it was already used in 12th century. Nowadays is a nice seaside town, more silent and cheaper than Palanga.
Here you could see modern church, "monkey" bridge. It is a place mostly known not for sightseeing, but just relaxing near the sea.
Sventoji is about 26 kilometres from Kretinga.
