Said by Saaristo visitors

Fantastic scenery, great service, tasty food, and beautiful nature. And the sauna! It's like the eighth wonder of the world, truly a unique experience.
The best thing was just enjoying the food and nature.
My favourite experience was the amazing sauna, and the overall feel of being in a separate bubble.
Stunning views and a spectacular smoke sauna.
A guided tour in nature, learning about the culture and traditions, doing outdoor activities like canoeing, a walk in the forest, cooking with a local... these were the favorite experiences.
