Departure is planned for Wednesday morning, July 5th, starting at 8 a.m. Times can be adjusted according to participants' needs. There are several OPTIONS for the day of departure (July 5th)
Haikko Manor as such is an excellent place for staying some extra days for leisure at the Baltic Sea.
The organisers and Hotel Haikko Manor will assist participants in making their own arrangements for tourist excursions, e.g., to the towns of:
Porvoo | Kotka | Lappeenranta
Savonlinna - (Savonlinna Opera Festival) | St. Petersburg, Russia (350 km)
Depending on the participant's interest, a scientific excursion can be organised to the Viikki Life Science campus and the Biocenter of University of Helsinki.
