Explore the Kotka-Hamina Region
You have experienced the ice cold winds of the north and the warm rains of the south, wandered the colourful markets of Asia and the glaciers of Iceland. Where to go next, though, you’re already wondering before the bags are packed for the trip home. You have to go far to see close. But we know that magic works the other way around as well.
