Imagine a city that expands across seven breathtaking lakes, each offering its unique charm and allure. Welcome to Zarasai, where nature's wonders intertwine with urban life. Initially, the city found solace on the enchanting island of Lake Zarasas, but as time passed, its boundaries expanded to include neighboring lakes. Southwest lies the stunning Lake Zarasaitis, while to the southeast rests the serene Lake Baltas. To the east, you'll find yourself captivated by the beauty of Lake Grieztas, which is connected to Lake Zarasaitis by the meandering River Laukesa. The hills surrounding Zarasai paint a picture-perfect scene, as if the city rises above the lakes themselves, inviting you to explore their wonders.
