Estonia’s approximately 2222 islands have played a defining role in the nation’s history and culture. Official Travel Guide to Estonia VisitEstonia recommends Prangli Island as one of the 10 islands to visit in Estonia in summer. There is definitely a lot of  diverse and untouched nature, space and peace.

Unlike other Estonian islands in the Gulf of Finland, life on Prangli island has been continuous for 600 years. Prangli island was the only island in North-Estonia where in Soviet times the inhabitants were allowed to continue to live. So it is definitely an authentic place to visit not only in summer but also all year around.

Prangli Island has a ferry connection from the Viimsi peninsula all year round.

Neighbouring islands Keri and Aksi are small inhabited islands that have their own charm attracting visitors who are looking for authentic places and adventures at the sea. Keri and Aksi are accessible from Prangli Island,  Neeme Port or Leppneeme Port,  with small motorboats accommodating up to 14 people. Prangli Travel offers regular tours to the island in summer, you are welcome to join the groups!
