Finland is also the land of lakes and islands; there are more than 180,000 lakes and almost as many islands.
Cottage life is an important part of Finnish culture and the best way to experience it is to spend time by the water, ideally on an island.
Cottage life is leisurely; it enables you to experience peace, silence and be surrounded by nature.
In the island we can live like Finns in their summerhouses.
Smoked fish is something that Finns love to eat and the waterways are crystal clear, ensuring that the fish you catch for supper is fresh, healthy and delicious.
