Introduction

Pihlajasaari is a former villa island that is now a versatile outdoor recreation area. It still has a few old villas set among rocks, wooded areas, groves and beaches. Varying terrain, good location and services have made Pihlajasaari the most popular summer island in Helsinki. Several buildings on the island are protected.

Pihlajasaari is actually two islands (western and eastern parts), but they are connected by a light bridge. Pihlajasaari covers about 26 hectares.
