Kizhi Necklace
We introduce the unique opportunity to rest in one of the most beautiful regions of Karelia and Russia - the fascinating Kizhi Archipelago. We will explore nearly all wooden churches and chapels on the Kizhi Island and in the neighborhood - much more than visitors to Kizhi usually see. Besides, we will taste local food, ride a traditional wooden boat and a kayak, fish, meet local people and enjoy the fairy-tale nature. Accommodation is arranged in comfortable guest houses.
