Beautiful island about 9 clicks from Rauma. A 50 minute water bad ride gets you there. We stayed overnight. Our child was a bit ill and the staff were very accommodating. The food was fair to middling, but the location and views make this a value for money situation. The rooms are kind of what you'd expect, to me a bit like my perception of what army barracks would be like. Rooms were clean though. Toilets shared, one on every other floor. Showers were a similar sort of arrangement. There were also sauna available. Overall a great experience really See more..

5.0 Emil Cedercreutzin Museo (5 reviews)
- Hidden gem
Art Galleries • Art Museums • History Museums

Not a well-known museum, and also a fairly unkonwn sculptor for a layman. Was very active, the museum exhibits tens of his sculptures and reliefs. The museum has several parts, and for me the most interesting was the massive collection of folklore: tens of items from almost every brand of life in days gone by, from rowing boats to household items. All very well put on display. Every hour there was also a guided tour to the artist's premises in one of the musum buildings. Enlightening and recommended. There is also a changing exhibit, this summer it was modern Japanese visual art. This is what attracted us to the museum in the first place, so the regular exhibits were an unexpected delight. This museum should make more noise about itself! See more..

4.5 Pori Outdoor Pool (3 reviews)
- Well worth a visit on a sunny day
Sports Complexes

Great and cheap outdoor pool. There's a shallow pool for toddlers, another one for small children and then of course the big pool for adults and children who can swim. In the big pool there are jumping towers at height of 1 m, 3 m, 5 m, 7 m an 10 meters, but the two latter are only open on saturdays at certain hours, so if you're hoping to jump high, check these out. There' also a nice water slide which ends in a shallow pool, suitable for children from 6 years up, or even smaller kids if you ride with them. One thing I really love about this place is the original 1950's architecture and the saunas, and also that they keep the place clean and nice from one year to the other. See more..
