Pori
Bothnian jazz city and the dunes of Yyteri.
— Journey —
Jet 40 min
Pori, on the Gulf of Bothnia at the mouth of the Kokemäenjoki river, is famous for two things — the Pori Jazz festival, one of Europe's oldest, and the long sand dunes of Yyteri, the finest natural beach in Finland. Reached by FFGR Jets in forty minutes, the city pairs an Art Nouveau centre with the surrounding river-delta nature reserve, one of Europe's most important bird wetlands. FFGR Finland coordinates festival hospitality each July, beach-villa stays at Yyteri, and visits to the extraordinary Juselius Mausoleum with its frescoes. It is the cultural anchor of the Satakunta coast.
