Tammisaari Finland (English site)

TAMMISAARI (Ekenäs in Swedish)
Much of the Tammisaari’s charm is rooted in its quietness. The town which feels like a ghost town most of the year is packed with travelers from mid-May until mid-August. Still Tammisaari is more a mellow retreat than a hotspot.



Tammisaari attracts everyone who wants to wander around the streets of Old Town, see gracefully aging cottages and take a deep breath of sea air.
