Hiiumaa, Second largest island in West Estonian archipelago, Estonia
The 989-square-kilometer island features extensive forests, limestone cliffs, sandy beaches, and four lighthouses along its diverse coastline.
The island emerged from the Baltic Sea 8,500 years ago, with earliest human settlements dating to 5500 BC on Kõpu Peninsula.
The island maintains traditional fishing practices and celebrates local heritage through events centered on maritime activities and Estonian island traditions.
Regular ferry services operate from Rohuküla to Heltermaa port, while daily flights connect Kärdla airport with Tallinn throughout the year.
