Pre-Christmas on an island is undoubtedly an unforgettable experience you will remember for the rest of your life. When it feels like all light from your heart has vanished in the middle of all the hustle and stress, you can come to look for it in the Hamina archipelago, on the island of Rakinkotka. Naturally beautiful island and idyllic fisher village milieu provide natural dusk characteristic to late autumn, sounds of the sea, and most of all - the audible mystical silence.
