Holidays in Aknīste

If annoying work convos are doing your head in, it might be time to grab your passport and step off the beaten track for a while. Book some accommodation in Aknīste and you'll be in a fantastic spot to get out and see the picturesque forests, rivers and sandy beaches of Latvia!

It lies 130 kilometres to the southeast of Latvia's capital, Riga.

Would you like to venture out a little bit? Vidsala is 20 kilometres to the north of Aknīste and Rokiškis is 25 kilometres to the southwest. Hop in the car and discover what's going on out there!

Heading to Daugavpils? This place is just 55 kilometres to the southeast. If you're setting up camp here, make sure you check out St. Peter's Church, the Daugavpils University and Daugavpils Central Park. Also consider taking a peek at Daugavpils TV Tower and St. Boris and Gleb Cathedral.

Sure, it's nice to be alongside the water, but it's a whole lot more fun to be on or in it! Make the most of the opportunity to have a crack at the region's wonderful watersports, such as wind surfing and kite surfing.

Spend a bit of time indoors exploring the treasures of the region's history museums and mansions.

Feel like you need to spend the day outdoors? Consider planning a visit to one of the surrounding area's open-air museums.

History lovers will adore the area's castles and historic mansions. If that's you, do some research and pick one to visit first.

If you'd like to learn about the local beliefs, organise an excursion to one or two churches and cathedrals. Even if you're not touched by a spiritual awakening, there's a good chance you'll find a little inner calm.

There's a world full of rich flavours waiting to tango across your taste buds in Latvia. With plenty of scrumptious things to nibble on, all you need to take along is a robust appetite — and perhaps a pair of stretchy trousers.

If you're poring over a menu, there's a good chance you'll see dishes featuring potato or egg. They're just some ingredients typically used in the cuisine here.

When the locals talk to you about their favourite food, you'll probably hear galerts (jellied meat) or karbonade (breaded pork chops) uttered a few times. These signature meals are an important part of the region and ought to be on any foodie's list.

If dessert is your thing, we don't think you'll be disappointed. Be sure to order fruit compote, a yummy treat that's sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Has all this sightseeing worked up a thirst? Shout yourself a glass or two of Uzavas, a brew that needs to be on your bucket (or pint) list.

Try to impress your hosts by practising a couple of expressions in Latvian. 'Vai Jūs vēlaties dejot?' means 'would you like to dance?'. There's also 'Labrīt' ('good morning').

Want to immerse yourself in the Independence Day celebrations? Cross the 18th of November in your diary and get ready to party!

Like all good things in life, your time here will eventually come to an end. When it's time to pack up your belongings, say "Visu labu!" and spend your remaining holiday allowance on some keepsakes to take home.

Situated 140 kilometres to the northwest is Riga International Airport (RIX), the nearest terminal. Make sure you have plenty of time to reach it.
