Saia is a small village located in the western part of Estonia. It is part of Saaremaa Parish in Saare County. Villages like Saia are often quiet places where people live close to nature.
Before a big change in local government in 2017, Saia village was part of a different area called Lääne-Saare Parish. Now, it belongs to the larger Saaremaa Parish.
Where is Saia Located?
Saia village is found on Saaremaa Island, which is the largest island in Estonia. This island is known for its beautiful nature, including forests, coastlines, and unique Juniper fields.
Saaremaa: Saia's Home County
Saaremaa is not just an island; it is also a county in Estonia. A county is like a large region or district. Saare County covers the entire Saaremaa Island and some smaller islands nearby. It is a popular place for tourists who want to enjoy the peaceful Estonian countryside and the Baltic Sea.
What is a Parish?
In Estonia, a "parish" is a type of local government area, similar to a town or a rural district. Saaremaa Parish is a very large parish that covers most of Saaremaa Island. It was created by combining many smaller parishes, including the one Saia used to be in. This change helped to make local government more efficient.
