Palanga

Items made from amber are one of the town's specialities, and range from inexpensive jewelry and small pictures with pieces of amber or imitation amber stuck on, up to very high quality items made of the real thing and costing thousands of Litas. There are good opportunities to buy souvenirs on your way to the beach, where tents with souvenirs are set up.

At the beach, you can enjoy a cheap cheburek and cold beer sold by young peddlers. A bit of a warning though, the chebureks are not made in a local restaurant, and are deemed "illegal" for unsanitary conditions in which they are thought to be made, but, I have tried many chebureks and I haven't had food poisoning yet. So buy from the peddlers at your own discretion.
