Old fishing harbour

Kalaranta, the old fishing barn site in Kaskinen, takes you back to a time when fishing was the town's most important livelihood. Here on Myllykallio - the Wind mill hill - you can still smell tar and Baltic herring on the barns and fishing net racks. In the Old Fishing Harbour visitors get to experience one Kaskinen's most genuine sites.

At the end of June this place becomes alive for one weekend. Local fishermen will sell their products from fresh to smoked fish and other delicious food. Artisans show their work and this is the perfect time to find original handmade local products. There is music and other mostly sea-related program.

We recommend you to buy the small guide on the stories and history of this old fishing harbour. In English, 2€,  available at the tourist information points and most shops in Kaskinen.
