Have a thrilling adventure in the Eastern Gulf of Finland

Do you love the sea?

Are you looking for new archipelago destinations, hidden gems, unique experiences, beautiful upland landscapes and that special feeling of the skin having spent the day at sea?

Come to the East Coast where you will find idyllic fishing villages, fisherman’s huts, bird towers, beaches, beacon towers and rock islands. Stop to enjoy the authentic, distinctive island-atmosphere. Wander the windswept islets, where the rugged meets the beautiful and the wild twists of history and romance live on in molten harmony.

Adventure from the harbours of the Eastern coast to the versatile, open Eastern Gulf of Finland, whose national park bursts with unique, chains of beautiful islands. Go jogging in this summer paradise on the long sandy beaches of sweet Kaunissaari, hike in the abundant and versatile nature of Ulko-Tammio, and savour the charming atmosphere of Tammio island on village paths lined with lilac bushes, and the songs of swallows.
