Discovering Poland’s Baltic Coast
$0.00
per item
Highlights:
Poland has a large stretch of coastline that runs along the Baltic Sea with some of the more interesting places facing the Gulf of Gdansk. This area was a witness to history since the first shot of World War II occurred when a German soldier fired on a Polish soldier starting the conflict. That led to the physical destruction of Poland and the creation of the Soviet Union and the Cold War.
Later in the 20th Century, a strike at the Gdansk shipyards led to the creation of Solidarity by Lech Walesa, abetted by the efforts of Polish Pope John Paul II which served as the catalyst that brought down the Soviet Union. Along with history, this area offers superb food and nautical views that are well worth a week of your time.
