Hanko was where my summer dream came true. By that stage, we had been hiking for 9 straight days, and camping a fair bit, after spending two days in Nuuksio National Park.

Ekenäswas founded by the Swedish king Gustav Vasa, with the plans of t...

The old stonework has been preserved, and the restaurant is lit with candles and dim lights, lending it a very romantic atmosphere. We both enjoyed cr...
We spent our night in Hanko in one of the nicest hotels of our whole trip – the Hotel Regatta, where we were lucky to have a top-floor room with a great view over the sea and the coast. Hotel Regatta was originally built in 1859, but it was recently renovated and refurbished with Nordic-style design furniture. A SPA hotel is currently being built r...
