Discovering East Coast

Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting guests from Germany who were touring some of our most interesting travel destinations on the East Coast of Finland. The group consisted of tour operators and travel advisors looking for new travel destinations.

During the the two-day tour, the group experienced the following attractions:

• Strömfors Restaurant Mylly for a delicious lunch
• Guided walking and introduction at the Strömfors Ironworks
• Guided kayaking at Kymijoki river, Wellsters
• Bogland walking on duckboards at Valkmusa National Park with Retkipiste
• A good night’s rest at the lovely Original Sokos Hotel Seurahuone Kotka
• Relaxing walking or biking tour in Kotka City Parks
• Short RIB-boat trip to Varissaari Island
• Dinner at Restaurant Vaakku

• Five-star Santalahti Resort by the sea
• Guided Tour of the magnificent Maritime Centre Vellamo
• Cozy riverside resort at Erämys Keisarin Kosket and campfire coffee

This visit was organized together with Visit Porvoo, Visit Kouvola and Visit Sipoo, offering an extensive view over the whole region east of our capital city, Helsinki.
