Kakskerta

Lake-dotted island district south of Turku with churches, villas and summer scenery.

Kakskerta is one of Turku's island districts, south of the centre and already beginning to feel like the archipelago. Lakes, forest, summer houses and quiet roads make it a useful change of pace from the cathedral-and-castle city.

It is best explored by bike, car or local bus with time to wander rather than as a single pinpoint sight. The appeal is the transition: urban Turku loosening into water, trees and the island rhythm that defines southwest Finland.
