16 September | from 12:00-18:00 | Island Saaremaa
Visit villages map you can print out HERE
Visit Villages is much more than just an event in the Saaremaa Food Festival programme – it is a sincere invitation to visit villages, which is meant just for you! Villages welcome and invite you to discover their flavours, stories and traditions. Visit Villages is precisely such an event, the authenticity of which you must go and see locally, as every village is unique and special!
In busy villages, you can feel the inspiring energy that finds its way to the table, community activities and enjoyable conversations. What is certain is that your stomach will be full of goodies and your mood will stay cheerful. You can choose your own route for the day. If you don’t want to do a big tour, you can “move into” just one village for the whole day.
It is very interesting to see in which community houses and village squares people engage in activities together. It may be that you find a place with a fantastic opportunity to celebrate an anniversary of yours. This is what is so wonderful about the houses in the villages – the villagers do not keep them only for themselves, they share them with everyone else too.
Visit Villages is an important and anticipated day for the villages, every visitor gives them the feeling that what the people living in the villages do truly matters!

The bus departs from Kuressaare at 11:30 – from the city bus stop on the Pihtla Street side of the Kuressaare Bus Station.
