Local tip
To immerse more deeply in the Lappish spirit during your stay at Apukka, a meal at Restaurant Aitta is highly recommended. Located in a century-old timber log tavern by Lake Olkka, the restaurant offers authentic Lappish cuisine in a scenic, Nordic setting. For a more relaxed evening, Kota Restaurant provides a cosy and informal option inspired by traditional Sami dwellings.
