Trakai Castle In Lithuania

Trakai Castle In Lithuania

An absolute must do while visiting Vilnius is a trip out the island castle of Trakai. Our Trakai Castle tour was a little marred because the band Aha was performing there that evening and their equipment spoiled the experience a little. Even so, this was a highight of our trip to Lithuania. #TrakaicastleLithuania #vilnius #travelvideos

Visiting Lithuania - 2016 (Vilnius / Kaunas / Trakai)

A land of wood and water, proud, independent Lithuania (Lietuva) is fast being recognised as one of Europe's gems. Southernmost of the Baltic states, it's a pocket-sized republic that's a nature-lover's delight, yet lacks nothing in urban excitement.

Vilnius

The capital is a beguiling artists’ enclave, its timeworn courtyards, cobbled streets and baroque churches animated by the vibrant, optimistic culture of today.

Kaunas

A sprawling city 100km west of Vilnius at the confluence of the Nemunas and Neris Rivers, has a compact Old Town, an abundance of artistic and educational museums, and a fascinating history. A sizeable student population provides plenty of energy, and some rough edges give it that extra bit of spice.

Trakai

With its red-brick, fairy-tale castle, Karaites culture, quaint wooden houses and pretty lakeside location, Trakai is a must-see just 28km from the capital. Most of the town stands on a 2km-long, north-pointing tongue of land between Lake Luka (east) and Lake Totoriškių (west). Lake Galvė opens out from the northern end of the peninsula and boasts 21 islands. Gediminas probably made Trakai his capital in the 1320s and Kęstutis certainly based his 14th-century court here. Protected by the 82-sq-km Trakai Historical National Park, Trakai today is a quiet town, outside summer weekends.

Welcome to Lithuania Abdul Basir Yousufi!

A 22-year-old Afghan man landed in Lithuania on Wednesday after reaching out to the president for help on YouTube and securing a temporary visa that paves the way for asylum.

I heard Germany has a lot of money, but I want to be in Lithuania. I speak the language, said Abdul Basir Yoususi, a Catholic who once worked as an interpreter for the Lithuanian army in Afghanistan.

I only need one thing: to stay here, he told reporters at the airport in the Baltic state's capital Vilnius, adding that he never wanted to return to Afghanistan.

After Lithuanian forces left the central Afghan province of Ghor in 2013, Yoususi received several threatening letters, prompting him to set out on a two-month journey to Greece that cost around $6,500 (5,700 euros).

Last week, he drew Lithuania's attention when he posted a video to YouTube saying, I have a request for the president (Dalia Grybauskaite). I need help. I'm currently in Greece.

The social media appeal worked: on Tuesday officials granted him a five-day visa so that he could apply for asylum for himself, his wife and their two-year-old daughter.

Lithuanian soldier Jurgis Norvaisa, who was posted in Afghanistan in 2012, said he recognised Yoususi when he saw the video circulating on social media.

He interpreted from Lithuanian to Dari Persian and vice versa. He helped us in our contact with the local people, Norvaisa told AFP.

Lithuania has agreed to welcome 1,105 migrants over two years under an EU plan to resettle asylum-seekers among the bloc's 28 members, as Europe battles its worst migration crisis since World War II.

More than a million people entered Europe last year, many of them fleeing war and poverty in Syria, Afghanistan and other parts of the Middle East and Africa.
