4.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

Many people spend lots of time at the beach during their holidays in Palanga. While having sunbaths you'll hear some voices shouting: "hot meal", "ice cream", "cold beer"... Of course, it will be in Lithuanian. But if you see a man or a girl carrying a big bag and offering something, feel free to raise a hand or just go and to ask does he/she has what you need.

Where are four tips of lithuanian language: auksaiciu, zemaiciu, dzuku and suvalku.

The most popular is aukstaiciu (region of Vilnius), but zemaiciu is in Palanga region. It is one of the most archaic language in the world. Quite interesting to hear how people talk, sometimes I can't understand what they are talking about though I am Lithuanian :)))

Amber in the Sea

Legend has it the the amber stones are actually pieces of the Sea goddess Jurate's underwater palace, which was destroyed by perkunas, the god of thunder, when he found out that Jurate had fallen in love with kastytis, amortal fisherman. A sculpture depicting this legend can be found near the Palanga bridge. Near the central path of the Botanical Park is the famous sculpture of Egle, the legendary wife of a sea-serpent.
