The Eastern Finland region

Finland is in the EU and the majority of the population, especially younger folk, have a good command of English. The Finns have adopted the Euro as their currency.

The Kuopio region is regarded as one of the most beautiful areas of Finland because of its location in the Finnish lakeland. There are estimated to be over 66 000 lakes in Finland so the scenery is spectacular.

Finnish winters ensure that winter sports are enjoyed by all with cross country and downhill skiing facilities.
June, July and August are the main summer months with similar temperatures to the UK. Cross country / forest ski tracks 100 metres from apartment. These are used for walking in the summer time.

Kuopio / Siilinjarvi area

Our apartment is situated in one of Europe's most unspoilt areas. In the summer the spectacular lakeland and forest scenery is uncrowded and a delight. This is an ideal location if you enjoy nature and want some peace and quiet. Boat hire is available in Kuopio.

The nearest supermarket/restaurant is 5 minutes walk from the apartment. Siilinjarvi town centre boasts an indoor swimming pool complex with the longest slides in Finland, as well as coffee shops and very good supermarkets.
