    All happy we will head to local café, run by true Karaite, settled off the beaten tourist path where we will have Crimean Karaite lunch and try traditional dish - KYBYN, and while waiting until it will be baked, enjoy pint of craft beer, Karaite spirit drink and talk about us and you, tell you openly about Lithuania’s past and present.
