After approx. 3-4 hours at archipelago you have 1-2 hours for relaxing in Finnish sauna. I will guide you into Finnish sauna tradition and practices. A visit to sauna takes you to to experience something exciting, relaxing, and very Finnish at the same time. Sauna is a centuries old tradition and essential part of life in Finland. You have an opportunity to relax in one of the best saunas in the world and see Finns doing what they love the most. Nakedness is part of Finnish sauna customs. Men and women have separate shower and dressing rooms. It's ok to wear a swimwear in Finnish sauna and in unisex saunas wearing a swimwear is required.
