How to get to Saaremaa If you’re pressed for time, you can fly in from Tallinn. But for many people, the journey starts the moment they step on the ferry to Muhu.
Quite a few say it’s crossing the water that gives them a sense of freedom and signals that their vacation has begun. Life on the island is special! When you live on an island, you’re much more dependent on the weather than you are anywhere else. When it’s stormy and windy, ferries don’t sail and planes don’t fly. If you’re here, you stay here. If you’re there, you stay there. Fortunately, this very rarely happens nowadays, and everyone can get to and from the island in their preferred way.
