Valaam island have only two ports: one, central (near Skete of Resurrection) and north (not used now, near All Saints Skete).

We arrive to the first port. Near the port they sell beer, souvenirs etc. You can buy map here. There are lots of pathways - and it"s hard to be lost. But, the forest is wild.
