A lovely place about an hour by car from our house. Check Wellsters and hire a canoe/kayak and take a nice tour on river Kymi. Also suitable for children (old enough to sit still in a canoe for a while, they have 2+2 canoes as well) - there is a cool route they call "little Amazon" where you paddle under old wooden bridges and even the boathouse.
