Palanga Real Estate: Apartments, Houses and Plots by the Baltic

Palanga has a long pier, the Basanavičius Street promenade, an amber museum in the Tiškevičiai palace and a botanical park, and summer is busy with Lithuanian and Latvian holidaymakers. Winters are quiet and many businesses shorten their hours, so decide whether you want a holiday flat or a year-round home. Klaipėda, the nearest big town, is a short drive south and has the ferry port and the larger job market; Klaipėda is the natural comparison for year-round buyers. Šiauliai and Vilnius are inland and far from the coast, so treat them as other markets.

Lithuania uses the euro, and a notary must certify the sale contract, with registration in the state real-estate register. EU nationals buy freely; for non-EU buyers, restrictions on land purchases exist, so take legal advice before offering on a plot. Mortgages for foreign buyers are possible but usually need a local income or a sizeable deposit. Start with the Lithuania buying guide and check mortgage options, or run numbers in the mortgage calculator. The wider Lithuania country page lists other towns.
