VALAAM

This picturesque archipelago is situated in the northern part of Lake Ladoga. The islands feature several ancient churches and mini-monasteries in a fantastic natural setting. The clean air and water are a welcome change from stuffy Petersburg, thus the cruises are filled with people seeking to get away from it all for a little carousing in the wild. There are designated camping sites on some of the islands.
