Moving around in Lithuania - transportation
The air transportation network in Lithuania is quite well developed. However, due to the fact that the country’s territory is too small, the airline does not conduct domestic flights. On the other hand, on private airfields which are about thirty in the state, it is quite possible to take any charter flight. The terminals of airports have a fairly well-developed infrastructure. The most comfortable conditions are created here for each passenger. Thanks to the fact that Lithuania is located on the shores of the delightful Baltic Sea, water transportation is also widespread here. The main port is considered to be Klaipeda. It is from here that various ships and ferries take off. As a rule, there are international cruises to neighboring countries which make it possible for tourists to travel across the beaches of the so-called Curonian Spit. In this same port, you will find a huge pier for private yachts and a jetty for cruise liners. It is worth noting that another fairly popular port is located on the largest river in Kaunas. There everyone can buy a ticket and go aboard a ship going to Nida.
