Where to stay in Korppolaismäki
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Majakkaranta is the reason to look south. Korppolaismäki shares that residential area with neighbouring Pihlajaniemi, and the district sits on the eastern side of the Aura's mouth below Turku's centre, closer to Turun linna than to the shops. Turun linna anchors the district.
A stay here trades the centre for the water, which works if Turun linna and the Aura's mouth are what brought you to Turku.
