Archipelago

Take an adventure in the exciting Eastern Gulf of Finland. Find your soul mate amidst the fresh sea breezes, rugged cliffs and the sea, bluer than blue. Here the infinite horizon whispers stories of waves lapping on distant shores of mysterious islands. How will you choose? Rankki, Haapasaari, Svartholm? Don’t decide just yet. First, let’s visit them all.

Villages and cities

Have you had a coffee in Loviisa’s wooden streets, photographed all of Kotka’s murals with your camera and memorised Hamina’s stories? Have you breathed the iconic setting of the Strömfors Ironworks, and lived your best life in the streets of the seaside towns? Have you seen wonderful parks and unforgettable events? If not, what are you waiting for?

The Kymi River

How about rafting blissfully on the sparkling Kymi River? Or would you prefer to paddle in the quiet backwaters under the cover of foliage listening to the songs of birds? A fisherman’s paradise, the unforgettable landscape of the mighty Kymijoki River and its many natural islands, branches and bends will enchant you too.

Activities

You can find active vacations in the treasures of the East Coast too. Cycle by the fields, go hiking through the tall trees, paddle your mind to peace, and camp in the countryside. The routes here are never ending and only an hour from the capital region. Break away from everyday life and experience Finland in miniature.
