  • Despite being Lithuania's cheapest resort, Šventoji charges up to 150 euros for accommodation.
  • Travelers are drawn to the resort not primarily for its low prices, but for other reasons.
  • Travel journalist Orijus Gasanovas visited Šventoji and identified the main draw for visitors.

Šventoji, often cited as Lithuania's most affordable seaside resort, is seeing accommodation prices reach up to 150 euros. This figure might seem high for a budget destination, yet it doesn't deter visitors from flocking to the coastal town.

Travel journalist Orijus Gasanovas, also a Delfi travel ambassador, recently visited Šventoji. He observed that the primary reason people choose this particular location for their holidays isn't necessarily the cost savings, despite its reputation. Gasanovas's visit aimed to uncover what truly attracts vacationers to this Baltic Sea destination.

During his visit last Sunday evening, Gasanovas spoke with numerous holidaymakers. He found that many cited the same compelling reason for selecting Šventoji for their getaways. While the article doesn't explicitly state this reason, it implies that the town offers a unique appeal beyond mere affordability, drawing people to its shores.
