A Cosy terraced house near Turku archipelago
This is a very peaceful and green area and is 2 km to the seaside. There are many possibilities for hiking in the forrest with marked paths just a couple of minutes from our house. It is easy to get to Turku, about 6 km and to Helsinki it takes about two hours. The Kaarina center is only two km from our house and there is a very nice beach. It is easy to reach the archipelago by bicycles or car. Turku archipelago is very beautiful and one can make a ring route from one island to another.
This is a terraced house with a garden and a nice patio. We have two bedrooms, open kitchen and livingroom, a toilet, a bathroom with toilet and sauna. We have one e-bike and one bike which can be used here.
