Arestikohad, also known as the Aresti Islands, is a small archipelago located in the Gulf of Finland, off the coast of Estonia. The archipelago consists of three main islands: Aresti, Suur Aresti, and Väike Aresti, which translates to Great Aresti and Little Aresti in English. The islands are part of the Hiiu County and are known for their natural beauty and historical significance.

The Aresti Islands have a rich history dating back to the medieval period. The islands were first mentioned in historical records in the 13th century, and they have since been inhabited by various groups, including the Estonian people and the Swedes. The islands were also used as a strategic location for defense and trade due to their proximity to the mainland and the Baltic Sea.

Today, the Aresti Islands are a popular destination for tourists and nature enthusiasts. The islands offer a variety of recreational activities, including hiking, birdwatching, and fishing. The islands are also home to several historical sites, including the ruins of a medieval castle and a 19th-century lighthouse.

The Aresti Islands are connected to the mainland by a bridge, which makes them easily accessible. The islands are also served by a regular ferry service from the nearby town of Kärdla. The islands are known for their pristine environment and are protected as a nature reserve, which helps to preserve their unique flora and fauna.
