Beautiful little city harbor, located right next to the market square and the starting point for boat tours.

Lammassaari Boat Harbour in Imatra is a quiet, scenic harbour area on the shores of Lake Saimaa, ideal for a peaceful break during a cycling trip. It’s located close to the city centre but feels secluded, with views over the lake and small islands. The area has benches, a pier, and green space, making it a good spot for a picnic or short rest. Access is easy via paved roads suitable for trekking and cross bikes. While there are no shops directly at the harbour, services in Imatra are nearby, so it’s easy to stock up before or after your visit.

The boat tours last one hour and currently cost €13 per adult. In the summer they run every half hour.

Lakeside campsite with restrooms, cooking facilities, and a sauna. Linnansaari National Park has 20 campsites, all accessible by boat.

Beautiful harbor with many restaurants and ships. The steamboat cruises on Lake Saimaa start here

You can also spend the night here with a mobile home. There is a restaurant with a nice terrace overlooking the water and a small shop.

We did the tour in mid-June 2023 when it takes place at sunset time. The seals are then very shy, they lie individually on rocks and from a distance lay people can hardly see them. Nevertheless, our boat driver and guide discovered 2 specimens, which could only be photographed with a very large telephoto lens. There were also ospreys and a swimming beaver to see. The tour is highly recommended, even if you don't see any seals, because Lake Saimaa with its islands is beautiful during the evening. I would do that again at any time!

Pistokiekka forms a shore formation site, which, in addition to the current erosion collision, which is about 700 m long and 3-4 m high, has ancient beaches and rock outcrops in the area. The campsite ceased operations during the recession of the 1990s, but there are places in the area where you can camp according to everyone’s rights. https://www.saimaageopark.fi/kohteet/pistohiekka-beach/
