The Island of Tammio

Experience the charm of Tammio, nestled in the eastern Gulf of Finland, just off the coast of Hamina. Explore one of the region’s best-preserved archipelago villages, where echoes of old island life linger among picturesque beach storehouses and winding lanes.

At Tammio Island the scenery is like a fairy tale book – an old fishing village with beautiful wooden houses scattered around the harbor. Here you can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful landscape, listen to the birds and admire the hundreds and thousands of gorgeous lilacs against the blue sky.

At summertime Tammio’s houses are temporarily filled with summer residents, but there is only one resident on the island all year round. The houses have belonged to the same families for a long time, and there is a strong sense of community among the islanders.

Discover the rich heritage of the island and delve into Tammio’s storied past dating back to the 16th century. With 47 houses by 1882 and a thriving fishing industry until the 1950s, the island offers a glimpse into its fascinating history through its archipelago life museum.

Conveniently access Tammio from Kotka Sapokka harbor via MeriSet‘s scheduled boat cruises. Embark on a two-hour archipelago cruise along stunning coastal routes, immersing yourself in the beauty of the Gulf of Finland.
