What a lovely little sea fortress. It was nice just to wander around a enjoy the ruons and the scenery. A short boat trip from Loviisa to the fortress was really worth it.

Let's be honest, the centerpiece of the fortress is that modern red-bricked grave looking space with few prints about the history of the place that could have been easily found online. Basically, we paid €18 each (boat ride) for this and some uneducated guides with very poor English (their Finnish didn't sound authentic either) behaving like monkeys and leaving no chance to feel any spirit of the fortress past. We decided against walking around the island after we read the warnings about vipers and ticks! We nailed a ride back 30 min past our arrival (otherwise one gets stuck there for two and a half hours)! We prayed to return safely to Loviisa: the operator sinking his eyes into his phone most of the time in windy weather and the boat itself being quite worn out with 2 life rings in vision (two benches along the windows and one bigger in the middle can fit about 40). All above explains no lines for departures in Loviisa. A total rip off! Walking the remnants of fortresses in Hamina and Laapperanta and an unfinished fortress in Loviisa plus visiting the magnificent Olaflinna made our good memories of Finland!
