Baltic Holidays Branches Out To A Breakaway!

RIGA is European capital of Culture for 2014 and Whalley Range-based Baltic Holidays are offering a city break there, including direct flights from Manchester and a 4-star hotel for four nights, airport transfers and a Riga Old Town tour for only £180.For full details visit this link.

The firm, which organises custom-made visits across the Baltic States, is branching out into another corner of the former Soviet Union – the “virgin territories” of Moldova and Transnistria. The former is Europe’s least visited country, the latter doesn’t officially exist!

Moldova was known as the vineyard of the Soviet Union and in 2005 one of its wine cellars, Milesto Mici entered the Guinness Book of Records as having the largest wine collection in the world – to get around the cellar you actually have to go by car. Check out this 5 night break.
 
Transnistria is a breakaway republic in Moldova, not recognised by any official world or EU authority as independent, yet it has its own borders and currency. It’s home to a large brandy distillery called Kvint, some believe is a rival to Cognac. Baltic offers a three night city break, staying in the Moldovan capital Chisinau, – that includes both visits to Milesto Mici cellars and Transnistria.
