About Definitive Stamp - Saaremaa County

The Estonian Saare (Island) county is made up of five inhabited islands and numerous small islands and islets with a total territory of 2,922 square kilometres and a population of about 38,000. The island county is valued by both islanders and mainland Estonians as the place to spend their summer holidays, discovering deserted beaches and the islands' natural wonders. The islands' unique natural and cultural heritage, the islanders' warm humour and hospitality will help visitors forget the fast pace of daily life and experience the passage of time the islands way in the westernmost Estonian county, where the sun sets later than on the mainland. Various cultural events organised on Saaremaa, Muhu, Abruka, Vilsandi and Ruhnu will make island holidays a success. But for those who prefer peace and solitude, there are the Vilsandi National Park and the Viidumäe Nature Reserve, as well as the characteristic island landscapes - alvars and juniper stands, coastal and wooded meadows, not to mention coastal villages and the roar of waves breaking on the shore.
