Lake Galvė (Trakai), Lithuania

#holidayitinerary Lake Galvė is best known for its centerpiece—Trakai Island Castle, one of the most picturesque castles in Eastern Europe. The lake itself is dotted with more than 20 islands, making it a scenic spot for boating, kayaking, and picnicking. Trakai town, with its wooden houses and Karaim heritage, adds cultural depth. Visitors can taste unique local dishes like kibinai (savory pastries) after exploring the medieval castle. Sunset views over the castle reflected in the lake are simply magical. For a mix of nature, history, and culture, Lake Galvė is a perfect addition to a #holidayitinerary in the Baltics.
