Fully equipped islands

Did you know that there are a couple of public islands in the Helsinki and Espoo archipelago? Apart from the ones you can reach by ferry there are also a couple of others that you can visit with a boat.

The amazing thing is that they are pretty well equipped for visitors. You will almost always find toilets, as well as a fireplace with pots and pans. And you will even find islands with a public, always heated sauna. And if you fancy, you can also bring your tent and stay over night.

Find an overview of the islands on Espoo's and Helsinki's websites.

Makkara over the fire

What about grilling some sausages over the fire today? And if you don’t know where or don’t want to light a fire yourself just come to Café Regatta.

The small and cozy café is one of the best summer places in Helsinki. They have a fire burning all day till late at night and for just 1.80€ you can get a sausage to grill over the flames. Mustard and ketchup are of course also available.
