Experience the unique atmosphere of the archipelago and enjoy the proximity of the sea in the bosom of nature!
Archipelago Center Korpoström is a versatile visitor center located on the island of Korpo, in the Turunmaa archipelago. Our archipelago center is aimed at tourists of all ages, as well as local residents who want to enjoy the wonderful nature, relax by the sea and participate in many different activities.
We are a popular tourist destination not only among vacationers, but also by event organizers and companies. The area’s nature, archipelago landscapes and various activities attract hundreds of people to visit our archipelago center all year round. Our unique location in the Archipelago Sea makes the visit special, because from our terrace located right on the south shore of Korpo, a beautiful sea view opens up to the historically significant channel from which Korpoström originally got its name.
We offer year-round hotel accommodation as needed, which is suitable for families, couples as well as those traveling alone or with a pet. In addition to our hotel and other activities, the archipelago center also has a restaurant, a gallery and a village shop that serves visitors every summer. The versatile facilities also make our archipelago center an ideal place for organizing meetings, parties and other events, for example.
A warm welcome to us in Korpoström!
Greetings from SAMKE regarding the development of the tourism industry in the archipleago.
The SAMKE-project aims to map and develop the tourism industry in the Archipleago based on the needs and requests of the people who visit with a special emphasis on international growth. The project is a collaboration between the Regional Council of Southwest Finland, the municipality of Kimitoön, the city of Pargas and Visit Turku Archipelago. All responses are valuable and helpful.
About SAMKE:
The Archipelago Tourism Developers project invites municipalities, businesses, tourism organizations, and tour operators to take part in joint development work in which tourism services are genuinely designed based on customer needs, with a particular focus on enabling international growth.
Finland’s archipelago is a unique tourism environment, yet its international potential remains partly untapped. The project addresses this challenge by creating a multilingual, participatory customer community through which municipalities and businesses can receive feedback directly from customers. Using data-driven insights, companies can develop and test new services and better respond to the needs of international visitors.

27.6 – Aava-festival: composition workshop
Welcome to a free composition workshop led by composer and performer Matilda Seppälä as part of Aava Festival 2026! We will begin with the fundamentals of working with sound by tuning and sensitising our sense of hearing to the sounds around us. Through guided exercises, we will gradually move towards sound improvisation, graphic notation, and making music together. In this workshop, any sound can serve as compositional material. We will focus on finding ways for each participant to create sound based on their own impulses or those offered by the surrounding environment. No instrumental skills, music-reading ability, or formal musical training are required—curiosity and a willingness to experiment are all you need.
