Lahemaa and the islands
Eleven days from Tallinn through Lahemaa national park, university Tartu, Viljandi castle hill, Parnu beach light and the ferry to Saaremaa: manor parks and Baltic boulder coast, Kasmu captains village, Kuressaare castle, Angla windmills and Sõrve pull-offs, then back to the capital. Eleport, Enefit Volt and Tesla where present; island legs need a planned charge before the ferry and the long coastal stretches.
Season: Best May to September. Lahemaa weather shifts with the Baltic wind; book overnight Eleport, Enefit Volt or hotel wallbox in Tallinn, Tartu and Kuressaare. Charge before the Saaremaa ferry and the coastal legs after Parnu — arrive cool, not empty.
