The port of Šventoji has been known since Curonian times. In the past, the town of Šventoji had 6 farms, and the whole seaside towards Palanga belonged to Count Tiškevičius. In 1921, the port of Šventoji was awarded to Lithuania by arbitration. After the loss of Klaipėda, the port of Šventoji became the only exit to the Baltic Sea. In accordance with the plan for a “brick Lithuania”, not only anglers’ houses but also a school and a block of modern villas were built within a couple of years. In 1934, the first Sea Festival was celebrated in Šventoji, two weeks earlier than in Klaipėda. At that time, there were 80 homesteads in Palanga, half of which belonged to peasants and farmers, and the other half to Jews. After Count Mykolas Tiškevičius acquired the area, Palanga changed from an anglers’ village to a resort. Such villas, like Romeo and Juliet, The Eye of the Sea, the Burstein Villa, White Villa, which was also the residence of Antanas Smetona, were built at the time. We will also visit Antanas Mončys House-Museum.
