INFORMATION FOR THE PARTICIPANTS

Though Finland is far north and cold in the winter, the weather in June and August is usually warm. Anyway, it can also be rainy and windy days, a sweater and raincoat/umbrella can be useful, but don´t forget to take your swimsuit with you. Days are still long in August (there is no midnight sun, though).

Hotel contact information:

All the hotels are open 24 hours. In case you will arrive to Turku very late in the evening, please inform the hotel about it. The easiest way to reach the hotels from the airport or harbour is by taxi.
