When you reach the village, turn right onto Merilänrannantie towards Loma-Koli and drive for roughly 1 km, then turn right onto Rantatie road and continue for another 1 km until you reach the harbor. After Koli Harbour, continue south along Rantatie road all the way (11 km) to the the Ala-Murhi farmhouse. Ala-Murhi farmhouse is a grey house with mansard roof on the right side on the road. In summer, you can park your car at the lay-by on the Ala-Murhi farmyard.
