  1. About 25km west of Vilnius is Trakų istorinis nacionalinis parkas | Trakai Historical National Park. We began with a 4km circular wetland trail, Varnikų pažintinis takas | Varnikai Nature Trail, very popular on a Saturday morning (📷1). Lake Galvė, with 21 islands, is the largest of 32 lakes within the park; the best known island is Castle Island—the site of Trakų salos pilis | Trakai Island Castle (📷2). Originally built in the 14th C. the castle was extensively rebuilt after WWII in 15th C. style and now houses a history museum. Užutrakio dvaras | Užutrakis Manor, a restored late 19th C. residential estate, can be seen across the lake from Castle Island (📷3). Karaites are a Turkic-speaking people who settled here by invitation of the Grand Duke to serve as bodyguards/ soldiers at the end of the 14th C. The traditional Karaite kibinai, a savoury pastry much like a Cornish pastie, is readily available. Karaite wooden houses in Trakai typically feature three street-facing windows (📷4); note the house model fixed to the façade—we saw this several times.
