maria_hz Says: I didn't quite know whether to put this in the Things to do section, the Restaurant or Transportation section, but ended up putting it in Things to do, as it is really a sightseeing tip. :)This 100 year old lady is a ship that has been restored and now cruises the...
Gili_S Says: Obviously the most interesting thing in this location is the sea, in the summer of course. So have your swimsuit ready, suntan oil and a cold drink and hit it to the beach.
maria_hz Says: This is a popular beach, although a bit out of the way for most tourists. It is located in Leksvall about 7 kms from the centre (a bike-ride away). There are no facilities such as toilet, and café but plenty of fresh water! This place is not entirely easy to find, but as...
maria_hz Says: Being a coastal town, Ekenäs boasts nice beaches close to the centre of town. The public beaches are maintained by the municipality and water quality monitored regularly. The quality is generally good, even though the water is not clear. It is generally decently warm (18-22...
Bossa Nova Restaurant & Terrace: Awesome location by the sea - delicious food
WanderingFinn Says: First of all you'll love the place even if not eating anything or just enjoying a drink outside in the sunny terrace. If it's too windy (it is by the sea), you will be able to watch the boats passing by even from inside - the walls are one big window. The overall outlook of...
Gili_S Says: This restaurant, Knipan is probably the most famous and maybe also the best in Tammisaari. In my last visit I had my dinner here, it was excellent and I enjoy the nice view by the sea.
Knipan: Summer restaurant, great location
croatia2006 Says: Traditional restaurant in Tammisaari (Ekenäs in Swedish, which is widely spoken in this summer town).-Serves especially sea food (a la carte or buffet)-Some evenings live music and dancing-Terrace on the seaBest of all is the great view to the sea and boats :)
Gili_S Says: Yep, there is one Mexican places here and not surprising it called Santa Fe, but I am not sure if it is related to the one in Helsinki.
Gili_S Says: This local coffee shop just by the K market store is excellent with quality coffee and cakes. We had wonderful breakfast here.

Gili_S Says: Right in the centre of the city, there is this nice chinese restaurant, nothing special with it, but after a long day by the sea, it was nice to get some quick food.
Gili_S Says: During summer it is popular to have concerts and gigs outside just by the camping site by the beach. It is a great place to party as long as the music is good and the weather is warm.
A healthy option for transport: biking
maria_hz Says: Ekenäs is a small town with only limited public transport to places outside the town centre, so if the weather is nice and you're fit enough, bikes offer a good alternative to car transport. Check with the tourist info by the market square for bike rental options.
Hantverkarbode: Arts and crafts
maria_hz Says: Ekenäs has a long tradition of handicraft, and one reminder of this tradition is the street names of the Old Town. But the tradition continues until this day, and arts and crafts are encouraged in different ways. One place to get a look at local craftsmens' - and womens' -...
Kungsgatan and environs: Small town shopping
maria_hz Says: The kungsgatan (Kuninkaankatu in Finnish) street is a shopping street just in the fashion much favoured these days; small-scale shops a few cafes along a quiet walking street. Around Christmas, the street is decorated with lights and shop-keepers compete for the title of the...
maria_hz Says: The May Day celebrations in Finland go farther back than the socialist-communist tradition of celebrating Worker's Day. In fact, the May Day celebrations co-incide with a festival for celebrating Spring dating back to pre-Christian times. It is no surprise that this time of...
maria_hz Says: In the height of summer, during weekends and holidays in July and August, the locals take their boats to their summer cottages out in the archipelago to spend some quality time in the helm of Mother Nature. Preferably by the sound of lapping waves and relaxing with a cold...
Gili_S Says: During the summer in the beach, be aware that is can be very hot, in all the aspects of it ;-)
maria_hz Says: Mörby gård farm was a pioneer in the region in eco-friendly food production, when they started, and in 1991 they opened the food shop at the farm. The farm shop regularly stocks meat, grains and vegetables. The vegetables are seasonal, so in the summer you will get new...
Gili_S Says: Here are few examples photos of the nice building in this small town.

This city is about 100 km from Helsinki and feels like 20 years back ;-) It is nice to come here in the summer for the beautiful beaches and sea activities. It is also good place for fishing :)

Maria's Ekenäs (Fi. Tammisaari)
Looking at Ekenäs today, you would hardly imagine that King Gustavus Wasa had designs on this place to become a rival port of Reval (today's Tallinn in Estonia) to cover the trade in the Gulf of...

On my way to Hanko and back i drove by Tammisaari. After visiting Hanko we thought that it would be good place to stop in Tammisaari and have a cup of coffee there. We found the Old town and found...

The seaside town of Ekenäs, how it is called in Swedish, 96 km southwest of Helsinki, is one of Finland's oldest - King Gustav Vasa conceived of it in 1546 as a trading port to rival Tallinn in...
