Kotka

Kotka is on the Southeast coast of Finland by the Finnish Gulf. Right where the rapids of River Kymijoki, the biggest river in Southern Finland, rushes to meet the sea. The wonderful nature and city parks, dazzling history of the border region, outstanding cultural events and sights and thousands of friendly people welcome travelers for a memorable visit.
The port areas in Kotka are in the City Centre of Kotka on the main island of the town, and on the Mussalo island. Close to Tallinn (90 NM) and Helsinki (60 NM) by sea. Offers an excellent itinerary solution and diverse and different destination solution for you who are looking for something else on top of the Capitals Tallinn and Helsinki.
The port, of the unique city on an island, is located a stone’s throw away from all the experiences. Guests will be able to experience, within a few hours, the soul of Finland - the exotic nature and cultural heritage from pushing one’s limits to finding an inexplicably glorious peace of mind.
