Description
Kotiluoto is a culturally and historically valuable villa and excursion island in the eastern archipelago. It withstands recreational use well and offers a lot to see for its size. The island’s unique stone villa and yard are currently used by an association, but otherwise you can hike freely on the island. The villa is protected. The building has been rented by the Helsinki Navigation Society and the East Helsinki Yacht Club.
