"We stayed at Kria, and the view was absolutely incredible\. It felt like we were in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by unspoiled nature. The place had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I only regret that I didn’t get the chance to enjoy the hot pot because of the strong wind and cold temperatures. It would be a perfect location for viewing the Northern Lights. I can only imagine how magical the experience must be on a clear night!! Thank you, Esther."
