Life in Korpo

Almost every summer we get the question “Can you actually live here all year round?”. The answer to that question is of course YES! It is a luxury to live in the archipelago! About 750 people live in Korpo all year round. We are a vibrant community and we have all the services needed to make life comfortable. Everything from kindergarten, school, medical care, elderly care, grocery store, hardware and general store, restaurants, pharmacy and everything else needed to make everyday life work. Here you can find blog posts that reflect everyday life in Korpo, 365 days a year. Maybe you're thinking of moving here too? :)
