And share the experience of our three trips to help you choose good place to stay in karelia.

We will tell you how you can relax in Karelia in the summer, is it worth looking for a recreation center on Syamozero or you can stay with tents in Ladoga skerries, what to do in Petrozavodsk, Kemi and Sortaval, is it worth visiting Valaam and Kizhi, how to go rafting on the Okhta River and about much more.

We decided to tell about our little experience of trips to Karelia in order to help readers in choosing good place for relax. We tried different options:

1. Independent search recreation centers in Karelia, rental houses or rooms.
2. Buying an "active" tour to Karelia(rafting, cycling, etc.).
3. Rest with tents in Karelia on the lakes.

Now the details.

Recreation centers in Karelia

The easiest way. But also the most expensive. There are a lot of offers to rent on the Internet houses or cottages in Karelia, separate rooms in large hotel complexes. Keep in mind that prices for holidays in Karelia in summer are sometimes even higher than on the Black Sea.

We got acquainted with Karelia in 2008, when we decided to rest not in the usual South of Russia, but in the North. We developed the route for a long time, searched for a suitable base for a long time and eventually found it. Recreation center "Beach" on Syamozero(the same one where the terrible tragedy occurred this 2016). What to do there? Fishing, swimming at Syamozero (sandy beach, invigorating water), walking through the forest for mushrooms and berries, a sauna, just relaxing in nature in good conditions and distracting.

In the summer of 2016, a two-room suite for four will cost about 5000 rubles per day, breakfast is included in the price.

Accommodation in the Syamozero area is convenient if you want to relax in Karelia with a cultural program. On the right (look at the map) 50 kilometers Petrozavodsk, a beautiful city, the capital, the embankment of Lake Onega, a wonderful museum of local lore. There are enough hotels on Ostrovka and Booking, we stayed in a hotel-ship afloat. From Petrozavodsk you can go to the museum-reserve Kizhi, a unique historical and cultural natural complex in the open.

To the left of Syamozero is Sortavala(in 2008, the locals advised to go through Petrozavodsk, and not through Suoyarvi - 100 km more, but the road is excellent). Quiet and calm town, you can feel the influence of Finnish culture, from here you can go to Balaam. We also came here for two days with an overnight stay in a hotel.

Keep in mind that if you want to relax in Karelia at a recreation center or rent a house / cottage, it will be more convenient to travel by car. But, to be honest, after one single experience of accommodation at the recreation center, we are unlikely to repeat it in the near future. Let's count. A week for two without meals will cost about 15,000 rubles. For this money you can buy an excellent tent, two "foams" and two sleeping bags. By the next trip, spend money and buy self-inflating mattress mats, and then comfortable living conditions in nature are guaranteed to you, and you do not depend on anyone!

The cost of rest in houses and cottages in Karelia in the summer of 2017

Prices for a "civilized" vacation in houses and cottages as of summer 2017 can be clarified in the diary of a trip to the Ladoga skerries (Tiurula, Kilpola, Murolahti).

For example, the cost of placing a company of 11 people in a huge cottage on the basis of Boyarinov Dvor was 10,000 rubles on weekdays and 12,000 rubles on weekends. And renting a cozy house for 4-6 people at the recreation center "Kanapelka" - 5000 rubles per day. No food. It turns out that annual inflation is minimal.

The cost of rest in houses in Karelia 2018

The cost of accommodating a family (two adults and one child) in a separate house with a veranda was 3500 rubles per day. The cost of food is about 1000 rubles per day for three.

Tours to Karelia

The next time we decided to try something “hotter” (in fact, it turned out to be the opposite, “cooler”) and in 2013 we went for a week rafting on the river Okhta. We turned to the largest tour operator in Karelia and the Kola Peninsula - travel company"Stella" http://stella-karelia.ru/

The tour was quite expensive, about 15,000 rubles per person, but it was worth it. An expensive and high-quality raft (worth 300,000 rubles at that time), reliable general equipment, thoughtful and varied meals. "Stella" provided tents, sleeping bags, and everything. It was possible to come with one backpack. We were met at the station in Kemi, and at the end of the tour we were brought here. The rest was difficult and stressful, out of five days there was only one "day", "seals" are not offered, but the memories remained the most positive!

Rest with tents in Karelia on the lakes

Last year, 2015, we thought about how to relax with children in Karelia. We considered different options, but immediately agreed with friends about the basic requirements for such a vacation.

1. Near.
2. Inexpensive.
3. To have a connection.
4. To have medical help nearby.
5. To the real Karelia.

The very first searches opened for us previously unknown places in Karelia - Ladoga skerries. We clarified information from blogs on skerries, by the way, both authors will answer your questions without any problems:

Photo from Vladimir Kezling:

In short, according to our requirements:

1. Ladoga skerries are relatively close to Orel. 1250 km. For comparison, rafting along the Okhta started from Kem, 1800 km from Orel.
2. We found an inexpensive recreation center on the Internet - “Boats. Houses” http://www.bestrest.onego.ru/ 25 km from Lahdenpokhya. Phones +7 921 463 95 25, +7 911 419 34 35, +7 960 212 44 98. Nikolay and Valery, nice men. 2016: parking of one car 200 rubles per day, transfer to the island 1200 rubles, rent of a boat with a motor 1500 rubles per day. It's really inexpensive at local prices. The plan was as follows: to come to the recreation center, leave the cars in the parking lot, rent a boat with a motor, arrange a transfer to the island (the whole team did not fit in one boat).
3. We camped on the island of Sammatsari, a few kilometers from the coast. mobile connection was, in the morning you could even connect to the Internet.
4. The nearest hospital is 20 km away (Sortavala). Good luck. By the way, we needed a hospital when one of the participants in the campaign was bitten by a tick.
5. Karelia is the real one here. Rocks, stones, water of unusual color, beauty!

In general, if you are planning a trip to Karelia with children to relax in nature with tents, take a closer look at. Places of amazing beauty, easy to get to, close and accessible.
