Prangli is a one of a kind Estonian island situated near Tallinn, a hour-long ferry ride from the Viimsi peninsula. People have inhabited the island for over 600 consecutive years, which makes Prangli the only Northern Estonian island with native settlement based on year-round inhabitants.
There’s an old saying that Prangli is located behind God’s back. Situated between Finland and Estonia, during Soviet times, even at the border of the Iron Curtain, the island has retained its local dialect, traditions and the culture of coastal people. Prangli is a rather tiny place, yet it has surprisingly diverse and untouched nature. With each year, the mysterious, timeless aura and unique fishing villages of Prangli delight more and more Estonians and tourists who are visiting Tallinn.
